200 Francs

G+D's contract with the Banque Centrale du Congo has produced a long-running series with minimal design revision across fifteen-plus years — the same plates, effectively, cycling through multiple print runs between 2007 and 2022. That kind of longevity is less a sign of institutional stability than of a procurement environment where redesign budgets rarely materialize.

The security specification is modest for a note printed this recently: watermark and thread only, with no optically variable ink or other features that became standard on comparable African issues by the mid-2010s. Worth noting when assessing later-date examples against known counterfeits circulating in Kinshasa markets since roughly 2018.
