Interesting fact
The 500 Francs CFA (African Lion) 2024 coin from Republic of the Congo is a non-circulating coin, meaning it's not meant to be used as regular currency. Instead, it's produced in limited quantities and sold at a higher price to collectors and investors. This coin is particularly unique because it features a beautiful design of an African lion on the obverse (front side), and the reverse (back side) features the coat of arms of the Republic of the Congo. Additionally, the coin is made of .999 silver, which is a high level of purity for a silver coin.
