The curved legend 'BANKI NKURU Y'U RWANDA' arcs along the upper periphery of the coin, identifying the issuing institution. The date '2009' is inscribed in large numerals along the lower rim, completing the design in a clean and uncluttered composition. |

| Additional information |
Rwanda's 2009 coinage series was issued during a period of sustained economic reconstruction following the 1994 genocide, as the National Bank worked to modernize and stabilize a currency that had been badly disrupted during the violence. The "Type 2 legend" designation distinguishes this issue from an earlier die arrangement — a small but catalogically significant difference that collectors often overlook when attributing circulation finds.
