Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 25 Francs - Mwambutsa IV (Independence; Pattern) 1962 from Burundi made of Silver weighing 6.12 g is that it features a unique design that was never adopted as the official currency of Burundi. The coin was minted in 1962 as a pattern coin, which means it was created as a prototype or sample coin for consideration by the government, but it was ultimately not accepted or circulated. Despite this, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists due to its rarity and historical significance.
