Obverse
The obverse design of the 2026 1/2 Gram Proof Gold Marilyn Monroe Coin features the coat of arms of the Republic of the Congo. A leopards head appears at the center of the shield, symbolizing strength. The shield is framed by a crossed elephant tusk and spear, representing national resources and sovereignty.

On the reverse of the 2026 Proof Congo Gold 100th Birthday of Marilyn Monroe Coin, you will find her standing above a subway grate as air lifts her dress. The background includes outlines of the New York City skyline and the Statue of Liberty, reinforcing the setting of the famous moment.
History
The original scene took place in 1954 while filming The Seven Year Itch. Directed by Billy Wilder, the scene was photographed by Sam Shaw as a crowd gathered on Lexington Avenue. The resulting image has remained one of the most widely recognized photographs of the 20th century and is closely tied to Monroes lasting legacy.
