Spotted hyenas live in matriarchal clans that can include as many as 80 members. They show notable problem-solving skills, work together to hunt, and maintain complex social bonds, making them an important and fascinating part of Africa’s ecosystems.

The obverse of the 2026 Rwanda Silver African Ounce Spotted Hyena Coin features the national coat of arms of Rwanda. This detailed emblem brings together key symbols: a traditional woven basket at the center; sorghum and coffee branches on each side; a cogwheel below for industry; and a rising sun above. Traditional shields flank the design, which is encircled by a rope and knot to represent unity among the people of Rwanda.

On the reverse side of the 2026 1/12 oz Silver African Ounce Spotted Hyena Coin, you’ll see the outline of the African continent, a hallmark of the series. In the lower-left, a Spotted Hyena appears with its cubs, highlighting one of Africa’s most adaptable predators. While often labeled scavengers, spotted hyenas are capable hunters that secure most of their own food. Their spotted coats, distinctive vocalizations, and organized clan life make them stand out within the animal world.
