Additional information

Rwanda has no historical connection to the Mayflower or the Plymouth Colony — this is a bullion and collector issue struck purely to mark the 400th anniversary of the 1620 voyage, a subject that generates reliable demand in European and North American numismatic markets. The National Bank of Rwanda has issued dozens of such thematic coins since the mid-2000s, functioning effectively as a mint-for-hire under legal tender framing while the coins themselves are never intended to circulate.

KM#202 is a one-troy-ounce fine gold piece, part of a broader commemorative program that included a silver counterpart in the same series.
