Additional information

The Republic of the Congo's 1991 coinage program was part of a broader wave of commemorative issues produced by the Banque des États de l'Afrique Centrale for member states — issues that frequently had more appeal to overseas collectors than to domestic circulation. This particular type was almost certainly produced in limited numbers for the numismatic market rather than everyday commerce, a common arrangement between Central African monetary union members and European minting contractors during this period.
