| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued to commemorate the opening of the Hotel Intercontinental in Kinshasa, this coin appeared just months after Mobutu Sese Seko renamed the country Zaïre — a rebrand that extended to the currency itself, replacing the Congolese franc with the zaïre in 1967. The hotel, built with foreign investment as a showpiece of Mobutu's authenticité campaign, was one of several prestige infrastructure projects he used to project modernity and political legitimacy onto the international stage.
The Banque du Zaïre issued relatively few commemorative silver pieces in its early years, making 1971 issues among the first expressions of the new national identity in precious metal.
