Interesting fact
The 10 Francs (Cutty Sark) 2001 coin from the Democratic Republic of the Congo is interesting because it features a unique design, showcasing the famous tea clipper ship, the Cutty Sark, on its obverse side. The Cutty Sark was a British ship that was built in 1869 and was one of the last tea clippers to be built, known for its speed and agility. The coin's design is a nod to the ship's rich history and its significance in the era of maritime trade.
