📦 Included Banknotes:
30 June 2013 DR Congo 50 Francs (P-97)

📖 History and Significance:
The Congolese franc was introduced in 1998, after the fall of Mobutu, and replaced the hyperinflated new zaïre. The Banque Centrale du Congo issued these notes with the date 30 June 2013. The designs celebrate the country's wildlife, the Congo River and its peoples: the okapi on the 1000 Francs lives only in the forests of the DR Congo, and the 100 Francs shows the Inga hydroelectric dam on the Congo River.
🎨 Design Details:
50 Francs: a Tshokwe Mwana Pwo mask; back: a fishermen's village on the Congo River.
100 Francs: an African bush elephant in Virunga National Park; back: power lines and the Inga hydroelectric dam.
200 Francs: a field worker and a sculpture representing agriculture; back: drummers with a large slit drum.
1000 Francs: two okapis and a carved Kanioka box; back: an African grey parrot and maize.

CONDITION GUIDE
Gem Uncirculated
A note that is flawless, with the same freshness, crispness and bright color as when first printed. It
must be perfectly centered, with full margins, and free of any marks, blemishes or traces of handling.
About Uncirculated
A bright, crisp note that appears new but upon close examination shows a trace of very light use, such as a corner fold or faint crease. 'About Uncirculated' is a borderline condition, applied to a note which may not be quite uncirculated, but yet is obviously better than an average Extra Fine note. Such notes command a price only slightly below a new note and are highly desirable.
Extra Fine
A note that shows some faint evidence of circulation, although it will still be bright and retain nearly full crispness. It may have two or three minor folds or creases but no tears or stains and no discolorations.
Very Fine
A note that has been in circulation, but not actively or for long. It still retains some crispness and is still choice enough in its condition to be altogether desirable. It may show folds or creases, or some light smudges from the hands of a past generation. Sometimes, Very Fine notes are the best available in certain rare issues, and they should accordingly be cherished just as much as uncirculated notes.
Fine
A fine note shows evidence of much more circulation, has lost its crispness and very fine detail, and creases are more pronounced, although the note is still not seriously soiled or stained.
