| Reverse description | The reverse presents a festive Christmas composition rendered in a two-tone treatment across a mirror-polished field. Two stylized Christmas trees adorned with stars occupy the center-right, while prancing reindeer, musical notes, gift boxes, snowflakes, holly sprigs, jingle bells, and hearts fill the surrounding field in an intricate decorative arrangement. The legend MERRY CHRISTMAS arcs along the upper periphery, and the date 2016 is inscribed at the lower right in an inverted orientation relative to the obverse, consistent with medal alignment. |

| Additional information |
The Republic of the Congo has issued a steady stream of small-format gold novelty pieces aimed squarely at the gift and collector market rather than any monetary function. This is one of them. Struck by a European private mint under license, these fractional gold issues circulate almost exclusively through online dealers and holiday gift packaging — the nominal face value is purely ceremonial.
