| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of the Republic of the Congo is centrally depicted, featuring a shield charged with a rampant lion holding a torch, supported on either side by two African elephants standing on a decorative base. A crown composed of stylized foliage surmounts the shield, and a ribbon below bears the national motto in the legend. The country name 'REPUBLIQUE DU CONGO' arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination '1000 FRANCS CFA' is inscribed along the lower border. |

| Additional information |
The Republic of the Congo — not to be confused with the larger Democratic Republic of the Congo to its east — issues collector coinage through the BCEAO framework despite not being a member of the West African franc zone, a jurisdictional oddity that has generated some confusion in dealer catalogues. These Congolese silver issues from the mid-2000s were produced largely for the European collector market, with distribution handled through intermediary minting and marketing firms rather than through any domestic retail channel.
Mintage figures for this series were never officially published by the issuing authority.
