| Aanvullende informatie |
The Banque du Congo Belge issues of this period were struck not in Belgium — occupied until September 1944 — but arranged through wartime monetary agreements that shifted colonial currency production abroad. The Congo's considerable mineral wealth, particularly uranium from the Shinkolobwe mine, made maintaining a functional colonial currency a strategic priority for the Allied administration.
Brass was the practical compromise after nickel became a controlled war material.
