| Reverse description | A stylised banana tree dominates the central field, depicted with broad arching leaves and a pendant bunch of bananas hanging from the main stalk, rendered in a bold, graphic style characteristic of African coinage of this period. The trunk rises from a simple base at the lower field. The curved legend BANKI NKURU Y'U RWANDA arcs along the upper periphery, while the four-digit date 2009 appears in the lower exergue. |

| Additional information |
Rwanda's 2009 coinage series arrived a decade and a half after the genocide that killed an estimated 800,000 people in roughly 100 days, issued by a central bank that had itself been reconstituted under the post-conflict government. The "Type 2 legend" designation distinguishes this issue from its predecessor by a modified inscription arrangement — a cataloger's distinction that reflects the quiet administrative normalization of a country still rebuilding its institutions one bureaucratic revision at a time.
