Obverse

Rwandas national coat of arms is found on the obverse field of 2021 Proof Rwandan Okapi 1 oz Silver Coins. The design features a woven basket at the center, with a coffee branch and a sorghum branch on either side immediately near the basket. Above the basket is a sun, with a cogwheel below the basket. This is all encircled by a rope that is tied in a knot at the bottom. There are banners included that read Republika Yu Rwanda above and Ubumwe Umurimo Gukunda Igihugu below. Other inscriptions in the native Kinyarwanda tongue on this face of the coin include Banki Nkuru Yu Rwanda and Amafaranga 50 Mirongo Itanu.

Reverse

Two okapis are depicted in the reverse design element on the 2021 Proof Rwandan Okapi Silver Coin. The design field includes the common element of the African continent, which is depicted in the form of a topographic map. In the lower-left corner, the two okapis are shown near a small tree as the young calf stands nearby and an adult eats from the tree above. Inscriptions on this side of the coin read African Ounce, 2021, and 1 oz Fine Silver 999.

History

Okapis are closely related genetically to the giraffe as the only two living members of the family Giraffidae. Okapis are so close in relation to the giraffe that many refer to the creatures as the forest giraffe or Congolese giraffe. Okapis inhabit tropical forests at altitudes of 1,600 feet to 4,900 feet in the central, northern, and eastern regions of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
