| Obverse description | Central field features a crowned royal cipher of Léopold II — the interlaced monogram 'LL' surmounted by a royal crown — set at the centre of the coin surrounding the round central hole. Four crowned shields are symmetrically placed at the cardinal points around the monogram, each rendered in fine relief. The entire central design is enclosed within a beaded inner border, with the circular legend reading LEOPOLD II ROI DES BELGES SOUV. DE L'ETAT INDEP. DU CONGO disposed around the periphery between the beaded border and the milled edge. |
