Interesting fact
The coin features an image of a mammoth on the obverse side, which is unusual for a coin from Africa. The mammoth is depicted in a standing position, with its tusks visible on either side of its head. The design was likely inspired by the fact that the Republic of the Congo is home to a number of important fossil discoveries, including those of mammoths. The inclusion of a mammoth on the coin serves as a nod to the country's rich paleontological history.
