The obverse features a plain field dominated by the large denomination numeral '1 Fr' in bold relief at center, flanked on either side by ornamental foliate scroll devices. The bilingual issuer legend reads 'BANK VAN BELGISCH CONGO' in two lines across the upper field and 'BANQUE DU CONGO BELGE' in two lines across the lower field, reflecting the dual Dutch and French official languages of the Belgian colonial administration. The overall design is austere and typographic in character, with the decorative scrollwork providing the principal artistic embellishment. The milled border runs continuously around the coin's periphery. |

The reverse presents a finely modeled African elephant in bold high relief, depicted in left-facing profile striding across a ground line that extends across the lower field. The animal is rendered with naturalistic detail, conveying mass and movement characteristic of Beaufrère's sculptural style. The legend 'PATT' appears in the upper field above the elephant, serving as an abbreviation for 'pattern' to denote the trial status of this strike. The date '1944' is inscribed in large numerals in the exergue below the ground line. The composition is enclosed within a continuous milled border. |

The 1944 Belgian Congo brass pattern franc was produced as part of wartime monetary planning while Belgium itself remained under Nazi occupation. With normal supply chains for silver and copper-nickel disrupted, the Banque du Congo Belge explored alternative compositions to keep the colonial currency functional. Brass was a practical candidate, though this particular configuration never advanced to circulation.
KM# Pn10 is one of several pattern variants documented for this year, reflecting genuine uncertainty at the issuing authority about which alloy would prove most workable under wartime procurement conditions.
