Comment
"50th Anniv." privy mark, hidden rhino head.Interesting fact
The "Golden Enigma" coin from Gabon is a unique piece, as it features a Springbok, a type of antelope found in South Africa, on its obverse side. This is an interesting choice, as Gabon is not known for its Springbok population. It's possible that the coin was designed to commemorate a specific event or to highlight the beauty of African wildlife.
