| Additional information |
The Banque Centrale du Congo has issued a long-running series of wildlife-themed silver pieces marketed primarily to European and North American collectors rather than domestic circulation — the franc has not functioned as a practical currency unit in Congo for decades, with the Congolese franc denominated in the thousands for everyday transactions. These issues exist entirely within the numismatic trade.
