Katanga 1 franc 1961 |
|
Katanga was a breakaway state proclaimed on 11 July 1960 separating itself from the newly independent Democratic Republic of the Congo. In 1963 it was forced to rejoin the country.
The coin features the primitive form of currency, a Katanga cross, also called a handa, used in the region.
