Interesting fact
The 5 Francs coin from Djibouti › Afars and Issas (1967-1977) is interesting because it was one of the first coins to feature a unique design that reflected the country's cultural heritage. The coin features a traditional Afar man and woman on the obverse, and a camel on the reverse, symbolizing the country's rich nomadic traditions and dependence on camel husbandry. This design was a departure from the more conventional designs found on coins from other countries, and it helped to establish Djibouti's distinct identity.
