| 裏面の説明 | The reverse depicts a stylized representation of the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, rendered in a bold graphic style with dark contrast against the polished silver field. The colossal figure stands upright upon a rectangular pedestal, right arm raised aloft, wearing a radiate crown and draped garment, with horizontal lines suggesting the harbour waters in the background. To the right of the figure, the legend 'COLOSSUS OF RHODES' is inscribed in three lines. A row of raised beads follows the curved left and lower borders of the puzzle-piece-shaped flan. |

The Colossus of Rhodes stood at the entrance to Mandraki Harbour — or possibly beside it, the ancient sources disagree — for roughly 54 years before an earthquake toppled it around 226 BC. Ptolemy III of Egypt offered to fund its reconstruction; the Rhodians declined, citing an oracle warning against rebuilding it. The fallen bronze lay where it landed for nearly nine centuries until Arab forces melted it down around 654 AD, allegedly requiring 900 camels to haul the metal away.
Burundi has no geographic or historical connection to the Colossus whatsoever. This is a bullion-adjacent collector piece issued purely on the Seven Wonders theme, part of a broader wave of such issues from small-nation mints in the 2020s.
