| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued to commemorate the opening of the Hotel Intercontinental in Kinshasa, this coin was part of Mobutu's broader campaign to project modernity and legitimacy onto the newly renamed Zaïre — the country had shed its colonial name, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, just months earlier in October 1971. The gold issue was never intended for general circulation; it was a prestige piece aimed at foreign dignitaries and investors Mobutu was courting during his authenticité cultural program.
Mintages were small and collector attrition has been limited, making survivors relatively easy to find in original condition.
