House of Emirates® is thrilled to offer its elite clientele this exceptional and rare Silver coin from Zaire, a nation that has vanished from the modern map, leaving behind only rare and powerful relics of its identity. Struck in 1997 and denominated at 1000 Nouveaux Zaires, this coin captures a forgotten chapter of African history, where political transformation reshaped borders and erased a country’s name, instantly elevating surviving artifacts into objects of historical gravity and investment-grade rarity.
Minted in .925 fine silver and weighing a precise 29.58 grams with an impressive 38 mm diameter, this piece (KM 24) features the majestic Portuguese Caravel, a symbol of exploration, maritime dominance, and the age that connected continents and empires. The craftsmanship reflects both strength and elegance, with the caravel cutting through imagined seas as a metaphor for endurance, discovery, and transition—qualities that mirror Zaire’s own complex and dramatic legacy.
Beyond its visual power, this rare silver coin stands as a tangible asset from a country that no longer exists, a category increasingly sought after by discerning collectors and forward-thinking investors. Its scarcity, historical depth, and intrinsic silver value position it as both a cultural artifact and a strategic store of value, perfectly aligned with the philosophy of House of Emirates®—where legacy, luxury, and long-term vision converge.
