Reverse description The central vignette presents an intaglio view of the Matadi Bridge (formerly the Maréchal Bridge) spanning the Congo River, rendered in purple and violet tones against a mountainous background. To the right, a large multicolour rosette guilloche medallion dominates the composition, flanked by the interlaced "BZ" monogram of the Banque du Zaïre at lower right with a decorative geometric underprint device below it. The denomination "1.000.000" appears in large numerals along the top border, repeated in a legend band at the foot alongside "BANQUE DU ZAÏRE", with the anti-counterfeiting warning "LE CONTREFACTEUR EST PUNI DE SERVITUDE PENALE" inscribed at upper right.
