Comments

P#102 spans a remarkably long production window — nearly two decades of reissue under the same base design — which reflects chronic budgetary and logistical constraints at the Hôtel des Monnaies rather than any deliberate continuity policy. The facility in Kinshasa has operated intermittently since the late 1980s, and domestic printing capacity has never been fully reliable, leading to uneven paper quality and inconsistent security feature application across print runs.

Two governors' signatures appear across the series: Masangu Mulongo, who oversaw the DRC's post-hyperinflation monetary stabilization from 1997, and Mutombo Mwana Nyembo, appointed in 2013.
