Congo

Welcome to NoteHobby's collection of Congolese Franc banknotes, a vibrant showcase of Congo's dynamic history and culture. Our collection features a wide range of authentic Congolese banknotes, each one a testament to the country's rich heritage.

The Democratic Republic of Congo, often referred to as the DRC or Congo (Kinshasa), is the second-largest country in Africa. Its currency, the Congolese Franc, has a fascinating history that mirrors the country's own journey.

Introduced in 1887, the first Franc had the same value as the Belgian Franc. It circulated in the countries of Burundi and Rwanda in 1916 before both countries issued their own Franc. In 1967, following Congo's declaration of independence, the Zaire replaced the Franc, with 1,000 Francs equivalent to 1 Zaire. The Franc was then re-introduced in 1997, replacing Zaire at an exchange rate of 1 Franc to 100,000 new Zaires. This was equivalent to 300 trillion old francs.

Our collection includes banknotes of various denominations, each featuring unique designs that reflect Congo's diverse culture and history.
