    Description

    KM 1, two year type, from an unusual location. Congo Free State was considered the personal property of the king of Belgium. Stories of abuse in the region lead to the Belgian government taking over control of the country, and the name was changed to Belgian Congo. The Belgian Congo and Ruanda-Urundi were united administratively 1925-1960; joint coinages were issued for the two areas 1952-1960. Five cent size copper coin, with a star on the obverse.
    The Krause catalog indicates that of 175,000 pieces coined for the type, 120,000 pieces were melted.
