Interesting fact
The Lowland Gorilla coin, minted in 1992, is a unique and interesting collector's item. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it features a rare design error. The coin was intended to depict a Lowland Gorilla, but the design mistakenly features a Highland Gorilla instead. This error has made the coin highly sought after by collectors, and it is now considered a rare and valuable collector's item.
