| Obverse description | A roaring lion bust facing left is depicted in high relief at the center of a raised inner circle, rendered in a naturalistic style with detailed mane and facial features. The legend REPUBLIQUE DEMOCRATIQUE DU CONGO arcs around the inner circle in the field. The outer border features the legend BANQUE CENTRALE in the upper arc and is ornamented with small five-pointed stars evenly spaced around the rim. The date 1999 appears in the lower exergue below the inner circle. The design employs a two-tone gold-plated and polished proof finish, creating a strong contrast between the dark field and the raised devices. |
