The legend BANKI NKURU Y'U RWANDA arcs along the upper periphery, while AMAFARANGA to the lower left and ICUMI to the lower right flank the large numeral 10 in the exergue. |

| Additional information |
Rwanda has issued a series of miniature gold coins featuring scientists and historical figures under KM numbers in the 270s range, produced for the collector market rather than circulation. Einstein died in 1955, making any commemorative issue necessarily posthumous; Rwanda itself didn't exist as an independent republic until 1962.
At 0.155 g, this is among the smallest gold coins produced by any sovereign mint program — a category sometimes called "micro gold," where the technical challenge of striking legible detail at this scale often exceeds the numismatic interest in the piece itself.
