Additional information

Tanzania submitted this design as a candidate for its 1996 Atlanta Olympic commemorative program but it was not selected for official release, leaving surviving examples as pattern or trial pieces rather than circulating commemoratives. The X# prefix in Krause confirms its status outside the regular or even standard commemorative sequence — these pieces occupy an awkward cataloging category that frustrates collectors and dealers alike.
