The Rwandan Wildlife Series is known for a common reverse design element of the African continent captured in a topographical outline. In the lower-left field of each new release, you’ll find a different creature from the region. The shoebill is a species of bird similar to the stork and also known as the whalehead.
Rwanda is a landlocked nation at the crossroads of Central Africa and East Africa in a region known as the African Great Lakes Region. The country has a mountainous terrain covering most of its land area and is among the smallest nations on mainland Africa.
On the obverse of 2019 Rwandan Shoebill Silver Coins, you’ll find the image of the National Seal of Rwanda. The seal includes a traditional Rwandan hut with inscriptions of the national name and the motto “Ubumwe, Umurimo, Gukunda, Igihugu” in the local dialect of Kinyarwanda. The motto means “Unity, Work, Patriotism.”
The reverse side of 2019 1 oz Rwandan Shoebill Silver Coins features the image of the African continent’s topographical map. The lower-left of the coin field has the image of two shoebills. The adult in the species is mainly grey in color while juveniles tend to have browner coloring in their feathers.
The BH Mayer Mint is one of several mints in Germany and it focuses primarily on coining different collections for foreign nations.
