REPUBLIQUE DEMOCRATIQUE DU CONGO JUSTICE PAIX TRAVAIL 2025 100 FRANCS ½ G. 999 OR PUR
(Translation: Democratic Republic of the Congo Justice Peace Work Pure gold)
The Democratic Republic of Congo has become one of the more prolific issuers of small-format fractional gold in the current bullion market, typically licensing designs through European minting intermediaries rather than striking domestically. At 0.5 grams of .999 gold, this piece sits at the lower boundary of what refiners consider economically viable for individual coin production — the fabrication cost per unit at this weight is often comparable to the metal value itself.
