Thanks again for sharing the treasure, Kerris L Ravenhill - @kerrislravenhill. The Rwandan Coins were very low mintage numbers. For some reason, someone wants to keep these, important numbers, a secret. There are other Countries, doing the same. Low numbers can affect their value.

This explains why the mintage numbers remain unpublished. There were figures bandied around 5k to 25k but they were just guesses and were not from primary sources like the B.H. Meyer Mint where they were made.

I'm curious on why Rwanda chose famous sailing ships as a coin series, other than a lake, the country is land locked with no direct access to the oceans.
I like a coin mysteries.

Thanks for the comment @cve3

There was a lot of kidnapping going on, in the area, for over four hundred years, from 1400s – 1800s. Slave Ships? Kerris L Ravenhill - @kerrislravenhill.
