    Description

    When the Democratic Republic of the Congo gained its freedom from Belgian control, the southernmost state of Katanga broke away from it for about 3 years (July 1960 - January 1963).  Ultimately, it was returned to Congolese control.
    Quarter dollar size bronze coin, with bananas on the obverse and a Katanga cross on the reverse.
