| Aanvullende informatie |
The Congo Free State was Leopold II's personal property — not a Belgian colony, but a privately held territory answerable to one man. By 1896, the rubber extraction regime was already generating the atrocities that would eventually force international intervention, yet Leopold was simultaneously attempting to project the image of a legitimate sovereign state, complete with a proper coinage. This pattern is part of that effort.
KM#Pn20 never entered circulation. Patterns for the Congo Free State are rare precisely because so few were struck, and fewer still survived outside institutional collections.
