| Aanvullende informatie |
The Democratic Republic of the Congo has issued a substantial number of commemorative silver pieces since its 1997 renaming under Laurent-Désiré Kabila, many produced specifically for the European collector market with no meaningful domestic circulation. This John Paul II issue appeared during the papal jubilee year, when mints worldwide competed for licensing arrangements with the Vatican to produce collector coinage.
KM#28 is one of several DRC issues from this period struck at European contract mints rather than in-country.
