Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1993 Equatorial Guinea 7000 Francos CFA (Giraffe) silver coin is that it features a unique giraffe design on its reverse side, which sets it apart from other coins in the series. The giraffe is depicted in a naturalistic pose, with its long neck and legs stretching out across the coin's surface. This design was created by the artist, Etienne Poncelet, who is known for his detailed and realistic animal portraits. The coin's unique design and limited mintage make it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists and animal enthusiasts.
