| Beschrijving voorzijde | A multicolour holographic depiction of a toucan in profile occupies the central field, the bird rendered with a distinctive oversized bill exhibiting iridescent yellow, green, and orange tones, its plumage shown in black with a yellow breast patch, perched amid stylised tropical foliage also rendered in holographic colour. The legend WILD LIFE PROTECTION 2000 arcs along the upper periphery in raised Latin characters. The design is framed by a beaded border running the full circumference of the coin. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Democratic Republic of the Congo's novelty coinage program of the late 1990s and early 2000s was driven almost entirely by export — these pieces were struck for the international collector market, not for any meaningful domestic circulation. The country had just emerged from the First Congo War and the fall of Mobutu's Zaire in 1997, and the new Kabila government was licensing its minting authority to generate hard currency revenue however it could.
The toucan series is among dozens of wildlife-themed issues produced under these arrangements, typically struck by European mints on contract.
