Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Non-circulating coin 50 Cents (Independence) ND (1966) from Botswana made of Silver (.800) weighing 10 g is that it was minted to commemorate Botswana's independence from British colonial rule, which was achieved on September 30, 1966. The coin's design features a portrait of the first president of Botswana, Seretse Khama, on the obverse, and the Botswana coat of arms on the reverse. The coin's silver content and limited mintage make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
