Title: Upper Congo Copper Chain Money
Description: In the Upper Congo River region, rings of thick copper wire were formed into chains for ease in handling. Lengths and number of loops per length varied. This lot has two examples showing a range of values for this currency, a short chain and a continuous, necklace-like loop. Both specimens are illustrated in the NNP edition, https://nnp.wustl.edu/library/book/541824, p. 155, lower left.
