| Reverse description | A detailed portrait of Saint Teresa of Calcutta (Mother Teresa) is depicted facing slightly left, wearing her distinctive white and blue-striped habit of the Missionaries of Charity. The portrait captures her aged and compassionate features with fine engraving detail. A small crucifix is visible at her chest. The curved legend 'HOLY TERESA OF CALCUTTA' arcs along the upper periphery of the coin, flanking the portrait on both sides. |

| Additional information |
Mother Teresa was canonized by Pope Francis on September 4, 2016, triggering the predictable flood of commemorative issues from minor minting programs. The Republic of the Congo — a reliable participant in the collector bullion market through the Berne-based Coin Invest Trust — issued this piece within months of that ceremony. At 0.5 g of .9999 gold, it belongs to a format designed almost entirely for the gift and novelty market rather than serious numismatic collection.
