Obverse
The obverse of the 2026 Proof Congo 100th Birthday of Marilyn Monroe Gold Coin displays the coat of arms of the Republic of the Congo. At its center is a leopards head, a traditional symbol connected with power and identity. The shield is supported by a crossed elephant tusk and spear, representing both natural wealth and the protection of the nation. The inscriptions include REPUBLIQUE DEMOCRATIQUE DU CONGO, 2026, 0.5 G AU 999.9, and 100 FRANCS.
Reverse
On the reverse of the 2026 Proof 100th Birthday of Marilyn Monroe 1/2 Gram Gold Coin, Monroe is shown in one of her most familiar poses. She stands over a subway grate as her dress rises in the breeze. The design also includes a view of the New York City skyline and the Statue of Liberty in the distance. The inscriptions read 100TH BIRTHDAY OF MARILYN MONROE.
History
The famous subway grate image dates back to 1954 during the filming of The Seven Year Itch. Directed by Billy Wilder, the scene was photographed by Sam Shaw while onlookers gathered nearby. Over time, the image became one of the most recognized photographs in film history and remains closely associated with Monroes public image.
