| Additional information |
This piece belongs to a wave of African-themed commemoratives issued by Burundi beginning around 2013, most of them struck by European private mints and bearing little connection to Burundian monetary history. The Stanley and Livingstone encounter — the 1871 meeting at Ujiji, on the eastern shore of Lake Tanganyika, roughly 200 kilometers from Bujumbura — provides the geographic link, thin as it is.
Ujiji is now part of Tanzania, not Burundi.
