| Beschrijving voorzijde | At center, a frosted effigy of a lion's head facing left, rendered in high relief against a polished field. Surrounding the central device, an annular band bears the circular legend REPUBLIQUE DEMOCRATIQUE DU CONGO. The upper arc of the coin's outer border carries the inscription BANQUE CENTRALE in bold raised lettering, while the date 1999 appears in the lower exergue. Six six-pointed stars are evenly spaced around the outer rim, punctuating the design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
David Livingstone died in present-day Zambia in 1873, and it was his African servants — Chuma and Susi — who carried his body over a thousand miles to the coast for repatriation to Britain. The Democratic Republic of Congo had no particular connection to Livingstone's expeditions; this is a bullion-adjacent commemorative issued during a period when the country, freshly renamed under Laurent-Kabila, was generating hard currency through foreign collector markets rather than domestic monetary policy.
KM#177 belongs to a broader wave of Congolese gold issues from 1999 targeting the international numismatic trade, most with no circulation whatsoever.
