Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1998 Tanzanian 2500 Shilingi (Leopard) silver coin is that it features a unique leopard design that was created by a local Tanzanian artist, Mwinyi M. Mwanga. The leopard is depicted in a naturalistic pose, with detailed spots and a menacing gaze, making it a standout design among other coins in the series.
