| Additional information |
The Democratic Republic of the Congo has been a prolific issuer of commemorative silver aimed squarely at the collector market since the late 1990s, producing themed issues with no meaningful domestic circulation. This piece marks the 2002 FIFA World Cup co-hosted by South Korea and Japan — the first World Cup held in Asia, and the first co-hosted by two nations.
KM#175 is one of several DRC football-themed issues from this period.
