Comment

The powerful rhino is a symbol for steadiness, protection and achievement. While first glancing at the large creature may give a sense of fear and aggression, the rhinoceros is actually known for its passive nature, preferring to graze in solitude.

Interesting fact

The Mandala Rhinoceros coin from Chad is a unique and interesting piece of numismatic history. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it features a rare and endangered species, the Northern White Rhinoceros, on its obverse side. The coin's design highlights the importance of conservation efforts and raises awareness about the plight of this magnificent creature. Additionally, the coin's silver content and limited mintage make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists and wildlife enthusiasts alike.
