| Reverse description | A panoramic view of the three principal pyramids of the Giza Necropolis is rendered in relief across the central and lower field, depicted against a plain background with a flat desert horizon line. Camel figures and small decorative elements appear along the lower periphery of the field, evoking the Egyptian landscape. The curved legend 'SECRETS OF EGYPT' arches prominently along the upper periphery in raised Latin letters, framed by a plain border. |

| Additional information |
The Democratic Republic of Congo has issued a long-running series of small-format gold pieces marketed primarily to European collectors rather than domestic circulation — these coins are legal tender in name only, produced under licensing arrangements that make the Congo one of the more prolific issuers of collectible bullion despite having no meaningful domestic gold coin tradition. The KM#292 reference places this squarely within that collector-market lineage.
