100 Francs Bastet

The Democratic Republic of Congo has issued a sustained stream of small-format gold pieces nominally denominated in francs, but these are bullion collectibles with no pretense of circulation — the face value bears no relationship to the metal content or market price. Bastet, the Egyptian cat goddess, has no historical connection to Congolese culture or monetary history.

The KM#283 reference places this among a crowded field of similarly structured issues from the same mint program.
