| Additional information |
The fire salamander has no particular monetary or political history in the Congo — this is squarely a bullion collector issue aimed at the fractional gold market, where sub-gram weights have proliferated sharply since the mid-2010s as mints competed for entry-level precious metal buyers. The Banque Centrale du Congo has issued a substantial volume of these animal-themed fractional pieces, most struck under license by European private minting houses rather than on Congolese soil.
