For the obverse of the 2026 1/2 Gram Proof Gold Marilyn Monroe Coin, you will find the coat of arms of the Republic of the Congo. At the center of the emblem is an image of a leopard’s head, a symbol that has historically been associated with strength and national identity in the region. The shield is supported by two crossed elements — an elephant tusk on one side and a spear on the other — symbolizing the nation’s natural resources and its commitment to protecting its sovereignty.

In the reverse design of 2026 Proof Congo Gold 100th Birthday of Marilyn Monroe Coins, the design element features her famous image standing over a subway grate in New York City. Her figure is set at the center of the design, with her dress flowing up in the breeze from the subway gate beneath her feet. The background features silhouettes of the New York City skyline and the Statue of Liberty.

One of the most enduring images in the history of popular culture is the photograph of Marilyn Monroe standing over a New York City subway grate on Lexington Avenue in 1954, her white pleated halter dress billowing upward in the rush of air below. The moment was staged for the filming of The Seven Year Itch, directed by Billy Wilder, and photographer Sam Shaw captured the scene as it unfolded before a crowd of onlookers. The image has since become a definitive symbol of Monroe’s playful sensuality and her remarkable ability to transform even a spontaneous moment into cinematic magic.

These 2026 1/2 Gram Proof Congo Gold 100th Birthday of Marilyn Monroe Coins arrive in plastic capsules and were designed in honor of her 100th birthday in 2026. The design includes proof visuals, such as frosted devices and mirrored fields, with a commemorative mintage of just 2,026 coins.
