KM#23 is a legitimate circulation issue; this piece is a replica, and magnetic composition immediately disqualifies it as original — the genuine 1929 striking was in copper-nickel, which is non-magnetic. The Belgian Congo franc system of this period was administered separately from metropolitan Belgian coinage, with the colony's currency managed through the Banque du Congo Belge rather than the Banque Nationale de Belgique.
