+# Abstract Factory Pattern
+
+Abstract Factory creational design pattern provides an interface for 
+creating families of related or dependent objects without specifying
+their concrete classes.
+
+## Implementation
+
+```go
+package afactory
+
+import "fmt"
+
+// Coin hierarchy
+type Coin interface {
+    name() string
+}
+
+type Etherium struct {
+}
+
+type Bitcoin struct {
+}
+
+func (c Etherium) name() string {
+    return "Etherium"
+}
+
+func (c Bitcoin) name() string {
+    return "Bitcoin"
+}
+
+// Abstract Factory implementation
+type AbstractCoinFactory interface {
+    createCoin() Coin
+}
+
+type EtheriumFactory struct {
+}
+
+type BitcoinFactory struct {
+}
+
+func (c EtheriumFactory) createCoin() Coin {
+    return Etherium{}
+}
+
+func (c BitcoinFactory) createCoin() Coin {
+    return Bitcoin{}
+}
+
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+```go
+
+func printNewCoinName (factory AbstractCoinFactory) {
+    coin := factory.createCoin()
+    fmt.Printf("%s\n", coin.name())
+}
+
+printNewCoinName(EtheriumFactory{})
+printNewCoinName(BitcoinFactory{})
+
+```
