Rwanda: Nautical Ounce – Kruzenshtern 1 oz Silver 2026 Proof is a collector coin from the prestigious Nautical Ounce series, dedicated to legendary sailing vessels that have made their mark in the history of global seafaring.

The coin is struck from 1 troy ounce of pure Ag .999 silver in Proof quality. The mirrored field combined with a frosted relief highlights the design details and the dynamism of the maritime scene.

The coin carries a face value of 50 Rwandan francs and was issued in 2026 as legal tender of the Republic of Rwanda. A limited mintage of 1,000 pieces underscores its collectible nature and long-term potential.
