The Republic of the Congo issued this piece as part of the wave of millennium-themed commemoratives that flooded the market in the late 1990s, many produced under licensing arrangements with European minting houses targeting collector rather than circulation demand. The Congo-Brazzaville issues of this period are notable for their sheer volume — dozens of thematic types struck in a country whose own monetary policy was governed entirely by the BEAC, the central bank shared across six Franc CFA zone states.
Actual distribution into Congolese commerce was never the intent.
