Comment
Mint: Servicios Documentales Filatelicos y Numismaticos, S.A. Madrid, SpainInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, which is a partially recognized state that claims sovereignty over the Western Sahara territory. The coin's design features a portrait of Mohamed Abdelaziz, the first Secretary-General of the Polisario Front and the President of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, along with the country's flag and the motto "Freedom, Sovereignty, Peace" in Arabic, Spanish, and English.
