| Beschrijving keerzijde | A woolly mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius) is depicted in bold relief, striding to the left across a rocky foreground, its long curved tusks sweeping prominently to the left. A crescent moon occupies the upper left field, and stylised coniferous trees are rendered in the lower left background, evoking a prehistoric landscape. The legend ANIMAUX PRÉHISTORIQUES arcs along the upper rim, the date 1994 appears in the lower left field, and the scientific genus name Mammuthus is inscribed in italic lettering along the lower portion of the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Republic of the Congo issued a series of prehistoric animal coins in the early 1990s aimed squarely at the collector market — these never circulated domestically and were sold through numismatic distributors. The mammoth piece was part of a broader African issuer trend during this period, where nations with minimal numismatic infrastructure licensed their coinage rights to foreign minting and marketing firms, primarily European, who handled design, production, and distribution entirely.
Brass strikes of this weight tend to show uneven coloration over time due to alloy oxidation, a known characteristic of the type rather than a grading concern.
