Comment
The difference between the two types is the lettering on the reverse under the bust, "INDEPENDANCE 22 SEPT·1960" vs "1967".Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Francs (President Modibo Keita, "1967") coin from Mali is that it was issued to commemorate the country's independence from France, which was achieved on September 22, 1960. The coin features an image of President Modibo Keita, who served as the first president of Mali from 1960 until his death in 1977. The coin's design also includes the country's national emblem, which features a crowned eagle and a shield with the national motto "Unity, Freedom, Work" written in French. The coin's gold content and limited mintage make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in African coins.
