Burundi – 1965 – 10 Francs – 50 Years of Reign of Mwambutsa IV – Gold – NGC MS68

This gold coin from Burundi was minted in 1965 as a commemorative coin for the 50th anniversary of the reign of Mwambutsa IV . This means the piece represents a clearly defined historical motif and at the same time the numismatic appeal of small, well-preserved gold coins.

The obverse depicts Mwambutsa IV as a uniformed bust, and the years 1915 and 1965 are placed in the field. The inscription refers to his position as King of Burundi and anchors the occasion of the issue directly in the coin’s design.

The reverse shows the coat of arms and below it the face value of 10 francs . Thus, the coin combines representative state symbolism with a compact gold design, which is particularly sought after in high condition.

This specimen was graded MS68 by NGC . This results in an exceptionally high-quality mint-state coin, safely preserved in the original NGC holder.
