| Aanvullende informatie |
The Democratic Republic of the Congo has operated as a prolific issuer of collector-targeted silver since the late 1990s, producing themed issues with virtually no domestic circulation — currency reform in 1997 replaced the old zaïre with the franc, but the new monetary framework was never stable enough to support a functioning commemorative coin market internally. These pieces are minted entirely for export to foreign collectors, primarily through European distributors.
The Chinese lunar calendar series accounts for a significant share of DRC commemorative output. The Monkey year in question is 2016, corresponding to the Year of the Fire Monkey.
