Congo \u2013 1965 \u2013 Commemorative Edition \u2013 5th Anniversary of Independence<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Complete gold set with 5 gold coins<\/p>\n

1965 was a significant year for the Republic of Congo<\/a> (L\u00e9opoldville). The country celebrated the 5th anniversary of its independence – a milestone commemorated with a magnificent set of gold coins. This set, consisting of five exquisite gold coins, was minted in a limited edition of only 3000 pieces by the renowned mint Argor-Heraeus SA. It is a rare collector’s item, especially because around 2100 of these sets were melted down. Today, only a few complete examples are known, making this set a sought-after treasure for coin collectors. <\/p>\n

The five gold coins are a tribute to the country’s independence and its then president, Joseph Kasa-Vubu, who was in office from 1960 to 1965.<\/p>\n
