100 Francs Eye of Horus

The Democratic Republic of Congo has issued a stream of small-format gold pieces aimed squarely at the bullion collectibles market, typically through arrangements with European minting intermediaries rather than any domestic production capability. This piece falls firmly in that category — a product of the modern commemorative trade, not monetary policy.

The Eye of Horus connection to the DRC is purely commercial. Horus worship centered on ancient Egyptian sites like Nekhen and Edfu, geographically and culturally remote from Central Africa.
