Interesting fact
The 20 Francs (Ursus arctos horribilis) 2019 coin from the Democratic Republic of the Congo features an image of a grizzly bear, which is not native to Africa, but is found in North America. This unusual choice of subject matter for an African coin may have been chosen to highlight the global importance of conservation efforts for endangered species like the grizzly bear.
