| Beschrijving keerzijde | A finely detailed left-facing portrait of a ram's head and shoulders dominates the central field within a raised inner border, rendered with exceptional naturalistic detail in the fur and musculature. The animal's large, boldly curved horn sweeps back and upward in a near-complete spiral, a hallmark of a mature male. The design features no legends or inscriptions, allowing the high-relief sculptural image to fill the entire inner field against a polished background. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Republic of the Congo — not to be confused with the Democratic Republic of the Congo across the river — has issued a steady stream of fractional gold miniatures since the early 2010s, largely through arrangements with European minting houses targeting collector markets rather than domestic circulation. These pieces never moved through Congolese commerce in any meaningful sense.
KM#179 belongs to a loose series of animal-themed fractional golds that proliferated across Central and West African CFA franc issuers during this period, a model pioneered partly by the success of similar programs from Cameroon and Chad.
