| Additional information |
Part of a French-mint novelty series produced for the collector market, this piece was never intended for circulation and has no meaningful relationship to Rwanda's domestic monetary system. The National Bank of Rwanda has licensed its name to several such micro-gold issues, a practice common among smaller nations seeking seigniorage revenue from international bullion collectors rather than from any domestic policy need.
At 0.155 g, this is among the smallest gold coins produced by any sovereign authority — struck to a fineness of .9999 at dimensions that push the practical limits of modern coining presses.
