The Rwandan Franc was introduced as the currency of Rwanda in 1964. Apart from its regular circulating coinage, the country has also authorised some foreign mints to issue coins under its jurisdiction, which come in a variety of sizes – including in the internationally popular silver ounce (1 oz silver) format, denominated usually as 50 Francs. Like any bullion coin though, their actual value is unrelated to the face value, and is based primarily on the metal content and the spot price of that metal on the commodities markets.

This coin is part of the Rwandan Nautical Ounce series which features a new reverse design every year, and commemorates the HMS Victory sailing ship.

HMS Victory, launched in 1765, is renowned as Vice Admiral Horatio Nelson’s flagship during the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805 – the oldest commissioned naval vessel in the world, currently serving as a museum ship and the flagship of the First Sea Lord of the United Kingdom.

the obverse: of the coin features the Coat of Arms of Rwanda. At its centre is a traditional basket, surrounded by the central tribal devices: a stem of sorghum on the left, and a branch of a coffee tree on the right, surmounted on a cog wheel with the sun with its rays above. These are protected by two typical Rwandan shields, one on the right and one on the left. The design is encircled by a rope, tied below in a square knot, On a ribbon above, REPUBULIKA Y’U RWANDA (Republic of Rwanda); on a ribbon below, the motto UBUMWE · UMURIMO · GUKUNDA IGIHUGU (Unity, Work, Patriotism in Kinyarwanda – the official Rwandan language), Around above, the name of the issuing authority: BANKI NKURU Y’U RWANDA (National Bank of Rwanda; in French: Banque Nationale du Rwanda; abbreviated as BNR), Around below, the face value AMAFARANGA 50 MIRONGO ITANU (50 FRW – fifty Rwandan Francs).
