10 Francs Green Butterfly

The Democratic Republic of Congo has issued a long and sometimes bewildering series of silver commemoratives since the late 1990s, many produced by European minting houses for the collector market rather than any domestic purpose. This piece is among them — the "Green Butterfly" designation refers to a shaped or insert issue almost certainly contracted through a European distributor, with no meaningful circulation history in-country.

KM#60 is documented but thinly sourced; provenance typically traces back to European dealers rather than Congolese banking channels.
