Interesting fact
The coin features a unique design that showcases a giraffe, which is not commonly seen on coins. The giraffe is depicted in a naturalistic pose, with its long neck and legs stretching out across the coin's surface. The design is so detailed that you can even see the individual hairs on the giraffe's fur! This attention to detail and unique design make the coin a standout among other coins.
