Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the Christian Radich, a Norwegian sailing ship that was built in 1937 and is still in use today as a training vessel for young sailors. The ship is depicted on the coin's reverse side, sailing through the waves with its sails unfurled. The coin's design serves as a tribute to the rich maritime history and traditions of the Republic of the Congo.
