The fifteenth issue of the African Ounce Series from Rwanda is dedicated to the Pelican. The motive of the Platinum coin features an image of the African continent and a pelican with a young animal.

Pelicans are large waterfowl, distinguished in particular by their long beak and enlarged throat pouch. With a capacity of up to 13 liters, the throat pouch serves the pelican as a landing net when fishing. Pelicans are native to tropical, subtropical and temperate zones and feed almost exclusively on fish. As a heraldic animal, the pelican can be seen on the coats of arms of the US state of Louisiana, Barbados, Arbois (France) and Luckenwalde (Germany), among others. The African Ounce Series with annually changing motive honors a different African species each year. The strictly limited African Ounce - Pelican Platinum Coin is delivered in the original box including a certificate of authenticity.
