Belgian Congo, 1 Franc Elephant Very Fine

The Belgian Congo did not have a good reputation of being ruled by the Belgians, but they did strike nice coins. They are known for putting elephants on their coinage. They have always been popular and difficult to get. We have purchased a small number of the 1 Franc coins which were only struck for three years, 1944, 1946 and 1949. The coins are small and struck in brass and will grade Very fine, but we have just 24 pieces for sale.
