Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a portrait of President Juvénal Habyarimana, who served as the President of Rwanda from 1978 until his assassination in 1994. His presidency was marked by ethnic tensions and human rights abuses, and his death contributed to the outbreak of the Rwandan Genocide. The coin was issued in 1989, just a few years before his death and the subsequent conflict that engulfed the country.
