Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that showcases a Senegalese lion on the reverse side, which is not a common motif in coinage. The lion is depicted in a standing position, with its mane and tail rendered in intricate detail. This design was chosen to commemorate the lion's significance in African culture and symbolism, and it adds an extra layer of interest and beauty to the coin.
