Interesting fact

The 5 Francs (German Mark) coin from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, issued in 2002, features a unique design that showcases the country's rich cultural heritage. The obverse side of the coin depicts a traditional Congolese mask, while the reverse side features a stylized image of a lion, which is a symbol of strength and courage in Congolese culture. This coin is a great example of how numismatics can serve as a window into a country's history, culture, and values.
