| Additional information |
The Banque Centrale du Congo has issued a steady stream of small-format gold pieces ostensibly for the collector market, though Congo holds no meaningful domestic gold coin tradition. These fractional issues are effectively bullion tokens marketed internationally, with the stated face value bearing no relationship to metal content or local purchasing power.
