Interesting fact
The Red Lionfish (Amafaranga) coin from Rwanda is a unique and rare coin that features a design of a lionfish, a species that is not native to Rwanda. The coin was issued in 2010 as a non-circulating coin, meaning it was not meant to be used as regular currency, but rather as a collector's item. The coin is made of silver (.999) and weighs 20 grams, making it a valuable and sought-after collector's piece for coin enthusiasts.
