| Additional information |
Issued under the Congo's broader "natural materials" novelty program of the mid-2000s, this piece is one of a small run of wooden coins produced for the collector market — legal tender in name only, with no realistic circulation purpose. Beech was selected for its density and dimensional stability, properties that reduce warping when cut and finished to coin tolerances. The Kaliningrad designation references the Russian Baltic exclave, part of a geographic series with no political or economic relationship to the issuing authority.
