| Additional information |
The Democratic Republic of Congo has issued a steady stream of small-format gold bullion pieces under wildlife themes since the early 2010s, primarily aimed at the collector and gift market rather than any circulating monetary function. The 0.5g size places it in a category pioneered largely by the Perth Mint and later adopted by numerous African issuing authorities working with European minting houses — most Congo-branded pieces of this type were struck by B.H. Mayer's Kunstprägeanstalt in Munich.
The black rhinoceros, native to central and eastern Africa, had already been declared functionally extinct in the DRC by the time this coin was issued.
