Interesting fact
The 500 Amafaranga coin from Rwanda features a unique 3D design that showcases a monkey climbing a tree, which is meant to symbolize energy and agility. The 3D effect is achieved through a technique called "smartminting," which allows for a higher level of detail and depth than traditional coin minting methods. This makes the coin stand out from other coins and adds to its collectibility.
