| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Rwanda occupies the central field, depicting a traditional hut flanked by vegetation, a sun above, and two clasped hands below, all within a shield. The denomination numeral '10' appears in the lower field beneath the arms, flanked by the Kinyarwanda legends 'AMAFARANGA' to the left and 'ICUMI' to the right. The curved legend 'BANKI NKURU Y'U RWANDA' arcs along the upper periphery. The coin is struck in proof-like finish with a polished field contrasting against the relief devices. |

| Additional information |
Rwanda's rhinoceros franc series exploited a legal quirk allowing the Banque Nationale to authorize private mint issues for the international collector market — revenue that bypasses normal monetary channels entirely. This particular silver variant is the 1/25 oz fractional, part of a run of miniature bullion pieces that saw wide distribution through European dealers rather than anything approaching domestic circulation.
