| Beschrijving keerzijde | A large, forward-facing Cape buffalo (Syncerus caffer caffer) dominates the upper central field, its massive boss and sweeping horns rendered in fine detail against a background of radiating concentric lines evoking the African savanna. A second buffalo is depicted in full profile walking left in the lower foreground, providing a sense of depth and scale. Decorative African geometric motifs border the composition on both sides. The curved legend THE BIG FIVE OF AFRICA • CAPE BUFFALO arcs along the upper rim, with the date 2010 in the lower exergue, and the inscriptions 1oz BIG and AG.999 flanking the lower field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Rwanda's 500 Francs silver buffalo belongs to a wave of large-format wildlife issues that African central banks began authorizing in the 2000s, primarily as numismatic export products rather than anything intended for domestic circulation. The National Bank of Rwanda has essentially no history of silver coinage for its own population — these pieces exist entirely for the international collector market, with the issuing authority lending its name and legal-tender status to productions largely managed and distributed by European minting and marketing firms.
KM#80 was struck at 65mm, oversized even by bullion standards, a format chosen to maximize visual impact on the secondary market rather than for any technical or monetary reason.
