Congo 10 francs Kofi Annan Nobel Peace Prize proof silver coin 2001

The Congo Democratic Republic 10 Francs silver coin of 2001 is dedicated to Kofi Annan, honoring his outstanding contribution to global peace and international diplomacy following his award of the Nobel Peace Prize. This commemorative issue reflects the ideals of dialogue, cooperation, and humanitarian leadership that defined Annan’s legacy as Secretary-General of the United Nations.

The reverse features a finely engraved portrait of Kofi Annan, shown facing forward with calm expression and dignified posture. His facial features, short curly hair, trimmed beard, suit jacket, shirt collar, and tie are rendered in detailed frosted relief against a mirror-like proof background. To the right of the portrait appears the United Nations emblem, including the world map surrounded by olive branches, symbolizing peace and global unity. The surrounding inscriptions clearly identify his name, distinction, and the year 2001.

The obverse displays the emblem of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, centered on a standing lion. The lion’s mane, muscular body, paws, and tail are sharply defined, set above the denomination. The polished fields and clean rim framing emphasize the precision of the proof strike.

Struck in proof silver in 2001, this coin is a meaningful collectible celebrating peace, diplomacy, and modern world history.
