A coin with some micro scratches, a capsule (please, check photos).
The Congo 10 Francs silver coin issued in 2002 is part of the “Wildlife Protection” series, dedicated to preserving the rich biodiversity of the African continent. This striking commemorative piece highlights the beauty of endangered species while promoting awareness of environmental conservation.
The obverse features a vibrant green butterfly rendered in stunning color, with shimmering wings displaying intricate patterns in shades of emerald, blue, and black. The fine details of the wings, including delicate veins and subtle iridescent tones, stand out against a reflective golden-toned background. The inscription “WILD LIFE PROTECTION 2002” curves along the rim, emphasizing the coin’s ecological theme. The reverse displays a finely engraved lion standing proudly on grass, symbolizing strength and African wildlife heritage. Surrounding the design is the inscription “REPUBLIQUE DEMOCRATIQUE DU CONGO,” along with the denomination “10 FRANCS,” all framed by a classic beaded border.
Struck in silver with a Proof-like finish, this coin combines color application with sharp relief and mirror fields. A beautiful and meaningful collectible, it appeals to both wildlife enthusiasts and numismatists seeking unique themed issues.
