| Obverse description | A large five-pointed star dominates the field, with the denomination numeral '5F' inscribed within a raised circular boss at the star's center. The bilingual legend reads 'BELGISCH' and 'CONGO BELGE' along the upper arc and 'RUANDA' and 'URUNDI' along the lower arc, with the text in the lower portion inverted relative to the upper, reflecting the coin's symmetrical design. |

| Reverse description | An oil palm tree in high relief occupies the center of the field, its fronds spreading broadly above a slender trunk. The large denomination numerals '5' and 'F' flank the trunk to the left and right respectively, with the date '1952' inscribed in the exergue below the tree. The bilingual legend 'BANQUE CENTRALE' arcs across the upper field in French, and 'CENTRALE BANK' follows the lower periphery in Dutch, each legend flanked by a small six-pointed star. |
