Aanvullende informatie

Rwanda's 1977 coinage was issued amid the relative political stability of Juvénal Habyarimana's single-party state, which had consolidated power following the 1973 coup. The Banque Nationale du Rwanda contracted production abroad — Rwandan coins of this period were struck at the Monnaie de Paris — as the country had no domestic minting capability.

Brass issues from this series circulated hard in a cash-dependent rural economy and survivors in undamaged condition are less common than the modest collector interest in Rwandan coinage might suggest.
