Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 500 Francs CFA (Taj Mahal) 2008 coin from Ivory Coast is that it features a unique design that showcases the Taj Mahal, a famous monument located in India, rather than a traditional Ivorian motif. This design choice was likely made to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Taj Mahal's inscription as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which occurred in 2008. The coin's unusual design makes it stand out among other coins in the series and adds to its collectibility.
