    The Congo 10 Francs silver coin issued in 2000 is a beautifully executed commemorative piece dedicated to bird conservation, featuring the sunbird, a small yet vibrant species native to Africa. Released by the Democratic Republic of the Congo, this coin reflects a strong environmental message combined with elegant proof-quality artistry, making it a standout example of modern wildlife-themed numismatics.

    The obverse showcases a finely detailed sunbird in flight, wings fully outstretched as it hovers gracefully while feeding from delicate flowers. The bird’s slender body, long curved beak, layered feathers, and spread tail are rendered with exceptional precision. Surrounding floral elements include blossoms, petals, stems, and leaves, creating a dynamic and natural composition. The Latin inscription “SUNBIRD – NECTARINIA SUPERTA” curves along the upper rim, while the date “2000” appears below, anchoring the design in time. The mirror-like fields contrast sharply with the frosted relief, enhancing depth and realism.

    The reverse features the familiar standing lion, a national symbol of strength and sovereignty. The lion is depicted on a grassy base, with a richly engraved mane, muscular body, legs, paws, and tail. Encircling legends read “RÉPUBLIQUE DÉMOCRATIQUE DU CONGO,” with the denomination “10 FRANCS” clearly placed beneath the figure.

    Struck in silver with a deep cameo proof finish and certified PCGS PR69, this coin offers exceptional eye appeal and preservation. It is an excellent choice for collectors of bird motifs, conservation themes, and high-grade certified African silver coins.
