| Additional information |
The Democratic Republic of Congo has issued a steady stream of small-format gold pieces under the "Isis" branding, targeted squarely at the fractional bullion market rather than circulation. These are collector-investor crossover products, sold at a premium to gold spot and never intended to pass through commercial channels.
KM#289 sits in a crowded field of similar DRC fractional issues from the same period, distinguished primarily by its ancient Egyptian thematic branding.
