| Additional information |
Rwanda's 2013 platinum fractional issue belongs to a series of multi-metal 10 Francs coins struck primarily for the collector market — the same design released simultaneously in gold, silver, and platinum at fractional weights. At 0.311 g, this is among the smallest platinum coins struck for any issuing authority, a size that posed real handling and striking challenges for the producing mint.
