Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 100 Francs (Nils Holgersson) 2017 gold coin from Niger is that it features a unique design that showcases the country's rich cultural heritage. The coin's obverse side features an image of Nils Holgersson, the main character from a famous Swedish novel, "The Wonderful Adventures of Nils," which was written by Selma Lagerlöf. The novel tells the story of a young boy who travels through Sweden on the back of a goose, and the coin's design pays homage to this beloved character. The reverse side of the coin features an image of a traditional Nigerien village, complete with mud huts and a baobab tree, which is a common sight in the country's rural areas. This unique blend of Swedish and Nigerien culture makes the coin a truly one-of-a-kind collectible.
