Rwanda Gold Nautical Ounce Series

In 2017, the Rwanda Nautical Ounce launched commemorating the 525^th anniversary of the discovery of America featuring the expedition's famous flagship the Santa Maria. Because of the protective packaging from the mint, these coins all arrive in phenomenal condition. Each Gold coin is made from 1 oz of .999 fine Gold. Each Gold coin in this series is struck within a strictly limited minting period, making each coin exclusive and ensuring low mintages.

Rwanda Gold Lunar Series

For the very first time in 2017, the Rwanda Lunar Ounce launched with the Year of the Rooster. Because of the protective packaging from the mint, these coins all arrive in phenomenal condition.

The Chinese Lunar Calendar is one of the most popular theme for coins. The traditional Chinese calendar is a lunisolar calendar which reckons years, months and days according to astronomical phenomena. The Chinese animal zodiac, or shengxiao is a repeating cycle of 12 years, with each year being represented by an animal and its reputed attributes. Traditionally these zodiac animals were used to date the years. In order, the 12 animals are: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig. Each year is associated with a zodiac animal.

Rwanda Wildlife Series

Minted by BH Mayer’s mint Kunstprageanstalt Gmbh Munich, Germany, the Rwanda Wildlife Series began in 2008 with the Silver Elephant coin. In 2018, the Rwanda Wildlife Series began minting their popular series in Gold. With a denomination of 100 Francs, the German-manufactured Rwanda 1 oz .999 fine Gold Wildlife Series has begun to attract attention from coin collectors all over the world.

Celebrating the beauty of the animal kingdom, the Gold Wildlife Series portrays the amazing animals found on the African plains: the gorilla, elephant, lion, zebra, rhino, cheetah, impala, buffalo and meerkat. Retaining the same design since the Gold coin's release, the reverse depicts the official seal of Rwanda featuring tribal devices surmounted on a cogwheel and encircled by a square knot. However, unlike the reverse, the obverse of the coin changes annually but always features an illustration of a celebrated African animal, some of which are endangered, next to a beautiful depiction of Africa.
