Issued by the République Populaire du Congo in 1976, this 35 Franc stamp highlights the Okengo, a traditional form of Congolese currency. The bold red central design features a stylized representation of this pre-colonial money piece, symbolizing local heritage and indigenous economic history. The elegant frame, engraved lettering, and cultural focus make this issue appealing to collectors of African ethnographic themes. A distinctive item from Congo’s 1970s definitive-style series celebrating national identity and heritage.
