| Beschrijving keerzijde | A resplendent quetzal (Pharomachrus mocinno) is depicted perched on a horizontal branch at the center of the field, rendered as a vivid multicolor hologram applied to the coin's surface. The bird's distinctive green plumage on the head and wings contrasts with its red breast, and the long tail feathers extend downward, all captured with striking iridescent effect as the viewing angle changes. The legend WILDLIFE PROTECTION arcs along the upper rim, with the date 2004 positioned along the lower right periphery, both inscribed in the coin's metal ground. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The "5 Francs Quetzal" denomination is a curiosity of the Democratic Republic of Congo's collector-targeted issues from the early 2000s, a period when the country's mint authority contracted heavily with foreign producers to generate foreign exchange through novelty coinage — pieces that circulated in coin cabinets, not pockets. The quetzal is native to Central America, bearing no geographic or cultural connection to the Congo whatsoever.
These issues were struck under license arrangements common to several small and economically stressed nations during this period, with the DRC effectively licensing its monetary authority for third-party wildlife series.
