Rwanda: African Ounce - Spotted Hyena 1/12 oz Gold 2026

Rwanda African Ounce 2026 Spotted Hyena 1/12 oz Gold is a miniature, exclusive edition of the iconic wildlife series issued under the authority of the National Bank of Rwanda. The 1/12 troy ounce format in .999 fine gold enables entry into gold issues at a relatively low price point; despite its small size, the coin preserves full detail and collectible appeal, offering the satisfaction of refined mint craftsmanship. The reverse depicts a group of spotted hyenas—an adult standing, an adult resting, and a juvenile—highlighting the species’ social structure and its role in the savannah ecosystem. A high‑relief map of Africa creates striking texture contrast and leads the eye toward fur detail and the continent’s contours. The coin is legal tender in Rwanda with a face value of 100 Rwandan francs, and features a reeded edge. Delivered in a capsule, it is suitable for safe display or long‑term storage within a precious metals collection.

Obverse coat of arms of the Republic of Rwanda, the legend “BANKI NKURU Y’U RWANDA”, national motto, and denomination 100 FRW—an official layout confirming the issue’s legal status.
