| Obverse description | The obverse features the denomination '1 FR' prominently displayed in the center of the field, flanked on each side by a five-pointed star. A bilingual legend encircles the design, reading 'BANQUE DU CONGO BELGE' in French along the upper arc and 'BANK VAN BELGISCH CONGO' in Dutch along the lower arc, reflecting the dual official languages of the issuing institution. The overall design is clean and typographic, with no figurative portrait, consistent with the colonial monetary authority's house style for subsidiary coinage. |
