Interesting fact
The coin features a unique design that showcases the island nation's rich cultural heritage. On the obverse side, it features the Comorian coat of arms, which includes a crescent moon and four stars, representing the four main islands of the archipelago. The reverse side features a traditional Comorian boat, known as a "dhow," which is a symbol of the country's maritime history and trade routes. The boat is depicted sailing through the waters of the Indian Ocean, surrounded by a circle of waves. The design of the coin not only highlights the country's rich history and culture but also serves as a reminder of its strong maritime traditions.
