Rwanda's National Bank has issued a long-running series of miniature gold coins featuring African wildlife, and the Caracal entry continues that program. At 0.28 g of .9999 fine gold, these are among the smallest struck gold pieces commercially available — a format Rwanda has used strategically to lower the entry price for gold ownership without reducing fineness. The black diamond inlay is a production feature added by specialist minting contractors, almost certainly BH Mayer's Kunstprägeanstalt in Munich, which has handled similar inlay work for comparable African wildlife issues.
