| Additional information |
The black mamba entry into African wildlife coinage comes from the Republic of the Congo — not to be confused with the Democratic Republic of the Congo, a distinction that trips up even experienced collectors. The Republic of the Congo, with Brazzaville as its capital, issues through the Bank of Central African States under the BEAC framework, making its commemorative program one of the smaller and less predictable in the CFA zone.
KM#273 is a recent addition to what has become a crowded field of African silver wildlife issues competing for the same collector base.
