| Aanvullende informatie |
This is a privately minted commemorative issue produced for the Banque Centrale du Congo, part of a wave of foreign-subject collector coins the DRC authorized through the late 1990s as a revenue-generating exercise — the subjects having no connection whatsoever to Congolese history. Princess Emma of the Netherlands, regent from 1890 to 1898 during Wilhelmina's minority, is a figure firmly belonging to Dutch numismatic tradition. Her appearance on a Congolese five-franc piece is purely commercial.
KM# 102 is one of dozens of such issues catalogued from this period, struck by European private mints on contract.
