Interesting fact
The 1000 Francs CFA (Baboon) 2004 coin from Togo is a unique and interesting coin due to its unusual design. The coin features a baboon on the obverse side, which is not a common motif in numismatics. The baboon is depicted in a naturalistic style, with detailed fur texture and a lifelike expression. This design choice was likely made to highlight the importance of wildlife conservation in Togo, as baboons are an important species in the country's ecosystem. The coin's unique design makes it stand out among other coins and makes it a fascinating collector's item for numismatists and animal enthusiasts alike.
