Cameroon 50-FRANCS (KM13)
Giant Eland
A male Giant Eland can weigh up to 1,000 kg and their huge spiral horns can extend beyond 120 cm. They hang out in sparse forest during the heat of the day, and feed on the savannah during the morning and evening hours.
This was the first coin Cameroon issued as an independent republic, which is celebrated by the full date on the obverse.
