This African series of mine have really made me search through the internet for something quite exotic.
And nothing's more exotic than a small agriculture based country in East Africa.
Just look at the lush greens and farmland.
The coin for today comes from these lush green lands.

This coin is part of the Rwandan Animal Wildlife series, an annual series in which new coins and animals are introduced.
It started in 2008 originally with silver coins but now it has grown and incorporated other metals.
This year 2023 featured the Nile Crocodile of Africa, a fearsome predator known for its stealthy way of hunting and powerful jaws with a kill rate greater than 80%.
The artwork on this coin is simply beautiful.
In the obverse side, we see the Coat of Arms of the Republic of Rwanda. Also with inscriptions of the name of the Bank of Rwanda, who is the issuing authority of the coin.
It also features the face value of the coin which is One Hundred (100)
On the reverse side, we see a depiction of the African Continent and the powerful Nile crocodile struck in gold with it's mouth open to show it's intimidating teeth.
As one can see, it has a very low mintage value thus it's a highly collectible item.
Most sites price it above Two Thousand Dollars so it's best to keep your pockets hefty if you're going hunting for this croc.
