Borda SerrilhadaInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the 1924 Olympic Games in Paris, France, which is unusual since the Democratic Republic of the Congo did not exist as a country at that time. The coin was issued in 2003, 79 years after the event it commemorates, and features a unique design that showcases the country's rich history and culture.
