| Additional information |
Burundi has issued an extended run of large-format silver coins under the "Jungle at Night" branding since the mid-2010s, typically produced by the Bavarian State Mint or third-party European minting houses under license. The Republic itself has no domestic minting facility.
KM#93 places this squarely in a collector series rather than any circulating issue — Burundi's actual monetary needs are met by the Burundian franc in small denominations that see heavy wear. These 50-franc silver pieces exist entirely for the numismatic export market.
