This category is dedicated to coins issued and circulated in the Belgian Congo during the Belgian colonial period (1908-1960). It includes coins and banknotes issued by the Bank of the Belgian Congo and Ruanda-Urundi, as well as fractional currencies used for daily transactions.
Here you will find Congolese francs, copper, nickel, silver, and potentially gold coins, depending on the periods of issue. The iconography of the Belgian Congo's coins reflects colonial history, often representing symbols of Belgium and local motifs.
Collectors and numismatists interested in African colonial history, the history of Belgium, or 20th-century coins will find this section a source of information and acquisition to enrich their collection. Detailed descriptions accompany each coin and banknote to facilitate identification and to inform about their state of preservation, their rarity and their numismatic value.
