| Obverse description | Five crowned royal monograms of King Albert I, each consisting of the letter 'A' surmounted by a royal crown, arranged symmetrically around the central hole to form a star-like pattern in the field. Three of the monograms are oriented upright and two are inverted, creating a five-pointed star composition. The bilingual legend CONGO BELGE · BELGISCH-CONGO runs along the outer periphery, separated by a beaded inner border. Two small five-pointed stars appear in the lower portion of the outer legend. |
