Interesting fact
The Trichechus Senegalensis, also known as the West African manatee, is a species of manatee that is native to the coastal waters of West Africa, including the Ivory Coast. The coin's design features an image of this aquatic mammal, which is an endangered species due to habitat loss, hunting, and entanglement in fishing nets. The coin's mintage was limited to 5,000 pieces, making it a rare and unique collector's item for numismatists and wildlife enthusiasts.
