Interesting fact
The coin features a unique design that showcases a chimpanzee sitting on a tree branch, surrounded by lush vegetation. The chimpanzee is depicted in a naturalistic pose, with detailed fur texture and expressive facial features. The design is meant to highlight the importance of conservation and protecting wildlife, particularly in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where chimpanzees are an endangered species.
