Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the centenary of aviation, specifically the 100th anniversary of the Wright brothers' first powered flight, which took place on December 17, 1903. The coin features an image of the Wright brothers and their aircraft, the Wright Flyer, on one side, and the coat of arms of the Democratic Republic of the Congo on the other.
