The legend 'RIO DE JANEIRO' arcs along the upper periphery, while the year '2016' appears in the lower left field. The composition references the Rio de Janeiro 2016 Summer Olympic Games. |

| Additional information |
The Republic of the Congo has no historical connection to the Olympic Games and no athletes who distinguished themselves at Rio 2016. This coin exists purely as a bullion-adjacent collector issue — one of dozens of near-identical Olympic-themed gold miniatures struck by various Central African franc issuers in 2016, all produced by the same European private minting contractors operating under licensing arrangements with nominal issuing states.
