Interesting fact
The Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, depicted on the 100 Francs coin from Niger, was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It was a grandiose tomb built for King Mausolus, a Persian satrap, in the 4th century BCE. The coin's design showcases the magnificent structure, which was known for its intricate sculptures and massive size. Interestingly, the Mausoleum was eventually destroyed by earthquakes, and its remains were used in other buildings, making the coin a unique representation of a lost wonder.
