CoinGold Half Gram 2023 Titanoboa

The Democratic Republic of the Congo normally uses banknotes for circulation, and does not issue coins in the Congolese Franc currency. However, the country has authorised some foreign mints to issue commemorative and bullion coins under its jurisdiction.

Most of them are in internationally popular sizes, including the half gram of gold mini-coin format - such as this coin.

This coin is the tenth issue in the Prehistoric Life series of premium bullion and collector coins, and features the Titanoboa.

With an estimated body length of up to 13 meters and a weight of up to 1,135 kilograms, the extinct Titanoboa is the largest snake species in the history of the Earth. The only known species is Titanoboa cerrejonensis, whose remains have been found exclusively in the Cerrejón coal mine in the Departamento de La Guajira, Colombia, and can be assigned to the Paleocene era.
