| Obverse description | The crowned arms of the Belgian Congo occupy the central field, consisting of a shield surmounted by a royal crown. The date is divided by the shield, with '19' to the left and the final two digits to the right. A bilingual circular legend reads 'BELGISCH CONGO BELGE' along the upper arc and 'RUANDA-URUNDI' along the lower arc, flanked by small decorative stars. The design is rendered in a clean, low-relief style typical of mid-twentieth-century colonial coinage. |
