This silver 50 Francs coin is a one year type struck in South Africa for the Belgian Congo while Belgium itself was under Nazi occupation. The bold design of a striding African elephant has always made this coin popular among collectors who otherwise neglect African issues. The design also appears on brass one, two and five franc pieces of 1944-49.
