Where it came from
This 5 Francs coin was minted by the Democratic Republic of the Congo to commemorate the 2002 FIFA World Cup, which was held jointly in South Korea and Japan. During this era, many nations, particularly those with smaller numismatic footprints, authorized commemorative coins featuring popular global events to appeal to both thematic collectors and international sports fans.
The design typically incorporates motifs related to the host countries or the sport of football, rendered in the standard base-metal composition common for circulating commemorative issues of this period. Like many similar releases produced for the global market, these coins were issued as legal tender within the DRC, though they were primarily distributed as collectibles rather than for everyday commercial use.
