| Additional information |
Burundi has no native marine habitat — the country is landlocked, bordered by Tanzania, Rwanda, the DRC, and Lake Tanganyika. The Pomacanthus annularis, the bluetail angelfish, inhabits the Indo-Pacific. This coin exists entirely as a numismatic export product, struck for the collector market under licensing arrangements common among small-revenue-seeking nations in the 2010s, when dozens of Pacific and African issuers flooded the market with wildlife-themed silver-plated issues bearing no connection to the issuing country.
