| Additional information |
Issued under the Republic of the Congo's ongoing program of themed bullion and collector coinage, this piece belongs to a series drawing on Judeo-Christian scripture — the Ten Commandments. The first commandment as organizing principle for a coin struck in the name of a Central African franc-zone state is an unusual editorial choice, given that the BEAC, which governs CFA franc issuance, has no ecclesiastical mandate whatsoever.
At 0.5 grams of .9999 gold, the actual bullion content is minimal — these were sold at substantial premiums to face value as collector items, not monetary instruments. KM#211 confirms the official attribution to the Republic of the Congo, though production almost certainly occurred at a European private mint under license.
