The Democratic Republic of Congo has issued a long-running series of small-format gold pieces targeting the bullion gift market, and this "Sarcophagus" entry is part of that output. At 0.5 grams, these are among the smallest gold coins in regular catalog circulation — a format pioneered largely by the Austrian Mint and quickly adopted by issuing authorities that license designs through intermediaries like B.H. Mayer's Kunstprägeanstalt in Munich, which handles production for numerous African nominal issuers.
The Banque Centrale du Congo exercises no meaningful oversight of this series.
