Rwanda African Ounce Coins
The African Ounce series is issued for Rwanda and takes a different African animal as its subject each year, running through species such as the mountain gorilla, the rhinoceros and the cheetah. It is struck in Germany by the Bavarian state mint.
The series sits alongside the Somalian African Wildlife coins as one of the two long-running African-themed bullion ranges produced in Europe, and like that series it is bought for the changing design as much as for the silver.
