Rwanda: Nautical Ounce – Kruzenshtern 1 oz Gold 2026

Rwanda: Nautical Ounce – Kruzenshtern 1 oz Gold 2026 is an exclusive gold collector coin from the renowned Nautical Ounce series, dedicated to legendary sailing vessels that have left their mark on the history of world seafaring. The issue features the barque “Kruzenshtern” — one of the most recognizable training tall ships, a symbol of classic seamanship and the power of sail.

The coin is struck from 1 troy ounce of .999 fine gold (Au) and has a diameter of 40 mm. Its mint condition and reeded edge emphasize its classic numismatic character. Production is by the renowned Bayerisches Hauptmünzamt mint, ensuring high quality and precise rendering of details.

The one-ounce gold version represents the most prestigious rendition of the Kruzenshtern motif in the Nautical Ounce series. The large format allows the dynamics of the composition and the details depicting the sailing ship under sail on the open sea to be fully appreciated, while maintaining stylistic consistency with the other releases in the series.

The coin carries a face value of 100 Rwandan francs and was issued in 2026 as legal tender of the Republic of Rwanda. A mintage limited to just 100 pieces makes it an exceptionally rare collector’s item intended for the most discerning collectors.

Obverse features the coat of arms of the Republic of Rwanda along with the face value, rendered in an official and legible form.

Reverse depicts the image of the Kruzenshtern sailing on the open sea. Also visible are the year of issue, the Nautical Ounce series name, the weight and fineness of the gold, and the inscription “KRUZENSHTERN”.
