| Additional information |
The Democratic Republic of the Congo had no meaningful connection to the 2002 FIFA World Cup, co-hosted by South Korea and Japan. This is a licensed commemorative struck purely for the collector market — the DRC issued dozens of such pieces in the early 2000s, leveraging its sovereign minting rights to produce thematic coins with no domestic circulation intent. The country was still deep in the Second Congo War when this piece was struck.
