| Additional information |
The Banque Centrale du Congo has issued a sustained run of gold fractional pieces under foreign licensing arrangements, with the Prince Philip issues timed to coincide with royal commemorative demand in European collector markets rather than any domestic monetary need. This particular piece was struck in 2021, the year of Prince Philip's death in April at age 99 — making it simultaneously a commemorative and an obituary issue, depending on when in the production cycle it was authorized.
