Additional information

Katanga ceased to exist as a political entity in 1963 when UN-backed Congolese forces ended its secession, yet the name resurfaces periodically on collector-market issues authorized by the modern DRC as a regional designation. These aluminium pieces circulate primarily through the numismatic trade rather than any conventional economy.
