| Additional information |
Rwanda has issued a long-running series of pink pelican coins in multiple metals, with the platinum variant occupying the extreme top of that hierarchy. The National Bank of Rwanda has leveraged numismatic programs as a legitimate revenue stream since the early 2000s, contracting European minting houses — primarily B.H. Mayer's Kunstprägeanstalt in Munich — to produce collector issues that bear no relation to domestic monetary circulation.
At one troy ounce of .999 platinum, mintages for this variant are typically measured in the low hundreds.
