Interesting fact
The Pattern 10 Francs coin from Rwanda, made of copper-nickel in 1964, is interesting because it was never officially released into circulation. Instead, it was only produced as a pattern coin, which means it was created as a prototype or sample for consideration by the Rwandan government, but ultimately not approved for widespread use. This makes it a rare and unique collector's item for numismatists interested in African currency.
