| Reverse description | A large five-pointed star dominates the reverse, its points radiating outward in alternating plain and beaded bands to fill nearly the entire field; the central round perforation pierces the star at its core. The denomination '10' appears to the upper left of the star and 'Ces' (centimes) to the upper right, while a ring of seven small five-pointed stars is disposed around the lower periphery between the inner beaded border and the outer milled rim. The date appears in the exergue below the star, with the overall design emblematic of the Congo Free State's distinctive holed coinage series. |
