Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 500 Amafaranga coin from Rwanda is that it features a unique 3D design, showcasing a goat's head in high relief, which gives the impression that the goat is jumping out of the coin. This 3D effect is achieved through a special minting technique that creates a raised relief on the coin's surface, providing a lifelike quality to the design. This feature makes the coin stand out from other coins and adds to its collectibility and unique appeal.
