Interesting fact
The 20 Francs (Giant Pangolin) 2003 gold coin features an image of a pangolin, a unique mammal covered in tough, overlapping scales that resemble armor. Pangolins are found in Africa and Asia, and they curl up into a ball for defense, using their strong tail muscles to protect themselves from predators. Unfortunately, pangolins are endangered due to illegal hunting for their meat and scales, which are believed to have medicinal properties. The coin's design highlights the need for conservation efforts to protect these fascinating creatures.
