| Obverse description | Central device depicting a stylized bunch of bananas (Musa x paradisiaca, family Musaceae) rendered in low relief, enclosed within a raised inner circle. The surrounding border carries the legend KATANGA in boldly stylized Latin lettering interspersed with triangular decorative motifs, with two small cross symbols flanking the lower portion of the legend. The overall design reflects a distinctly African artistic aesthetic. |
