| Reverse description | The reverse features a finely detailed portrait of Helmut Kohl facing slightly to the right, rendered in a frosted proof finish against a polished field. The former German Chancellor is depicted wearing glasses, with his characteristic broad features captured in high relief. The circular legend '1930 · HELMUT KOHL · 2017 ·' arcs around the upper periphery, referencing his birth and death years. The inscription '1/2 G .999 FINE GOLD' appears in the lower left field, denoting the coin's weight and fineness. |

| Additional information |
Niger issued this piece as part of a broader commercial series targeting the collector market — politically awkward given that Kohl, as the architect of German reunification and a dominant force in European monetary integration, had no meaningful connection to the country. These small-format gold issues from Niger are produced under licensing arrangements, with the actual minting typically contracted to European facilities.
