| Additional information |
The Democratic Republic of the Congo has issued gold bullion and commemorative pieces under its own authority since the early 2000s, frequently licensing foreign iconography with no domestic historical connection to the subject. Tutankhamun's tomb was discovered by Howard Carter in November 1922, and Egyptian antiquities have remained commercially viable on collectibles markets ever since — which explains the pairing more than any diplomatic or cultural logic does.
At 0.5 grams, the gold content is negligible by bullion standards. These pieces trade almost entirely on novelty.
