100 Francs Sacred Scarab

The Democratic Republic of Congo has issued a steady stream of small-format gold pieces through European distribution channels — primarily Geiger Edelmetalle — targeting the bullion collectibles market rather than domestic circulation. These never reached Congolese commerce in any meaningful sense. The Sacred Scarab belongs to that category: a legal-tender instrument issued entirely for the international collector trade.

At 0.5 grams, it sits at the lower edge of what refiners consider economically viable for .999 gold striking.
