Interesting fact
The obverse side of the coin features a panther, which is a symbol of strength, courage, and power in many African cultures. The panther is depicted in a standing position, with its ears perked up and its tail stretched out, giving the impression of a powerful and regal animal. The coin's designer, whose name is not specified, has done an excellent job in capturing the panther's details and likeness on such a small canvas. The coin's silver finish adds to its aesthetic appeal, making it a sought-after collector's item for numismatists and animal enthusiasts alike.
