Obverse description	Intaglio portrait of a young Congolese woman in a traditional head wrap at left, with a central vignette of a mass political parade carrying banners saluting the 7th anniversary of the August 1963 insurrection, set against a grandstand scene with flags; a carved African figure stands at right. The denomination DIX MILLE FRANCS is printed in red at centre, with the issuer title REPUBLIQUE POPULAIRE DU CONGO across the top, and two signature fields above the central vignette for Le President and Le Directeur General. A geometric guilloche underprint in green and gold frames the entire composition.
