Interesting fact
The Pattern 10 Francs coin from Rwanda was designed by the renowned French engraver and sculptor, Auguste C. Patey. Patey was known for his work on various coins and medals, including the French franc and the Belgian franc. The coin features a portrait of King Kigeri V on the obverse side and the Rwandan coat of arms on the reverse side. The use of brass in the coin's composition gives it a unique and distinctive appearance, making it stand out among other coins from the same era.
