背面描述 Central device depicts a common hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius) in full profile facing left, rendered in high relief and standing on a shallow rocky ground line. A stylised grove of palm-like African fan trees rises behind the animal, set against a blue-toned mirror proof field. The curved legend WILDLIFE OF AFRICA arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 1000 NOUVEAUX ZAÏRES is inscribed in two lines along the lower periphery, all lettering in raised Latin characters.

附加信息

Zaïre ceased to exist as a country within months of this coin's issue. Mobutu Sese Seko's kleptocratic regime, which had renamed both the nation and its currency, collapsed in May 1997 when Laurent-Désiré Kabila's forces took Kinshasa. The country was immediately renamed the Democratic Republic of the Congo, rendering the Banque du Zaïre and its "nouveaux zaïres" — themselves a 1993 redenomination that had failed to arrest hyperinflation — instantly obsolete.

This piece was almost certainly struck for export to collector markets rather than any domestic monetary function. The nouveau zaïre had lost essentially all practical value before the mint order was even placed.
