Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the opening of the Hotel Intercontinental in Kinshasa, the capital city of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The coin's design features an image of the hotel on one side and the coat of arms of Zaire (the country's name at the time) on the other. This coin is a unique piece of numismatic history that highlights the country's efforts to promote its tourism industry.
