| Additional information |
The Democratic Republic of Congo has issued a steady stream of fractional gold pieces under Banque Centrale du Congo since the mid-2010s, largely targeting the European collector market rather than domestic circulation. At 0.5 g of .999 gold, the economics of production relative to metal value make these coins effectively commemorative instruments from the outset.
