| Obverse description | Central round perforation surrounded by four crowned royal monograms of Léopold II arranged symmetrically in the field, each rendered as an interlaced 'L' beneath a royal crown. A beaded inner border frames the central motif, while the outer legend reads around the periphery within a beaded outer border. The design is spare and heraldic in character, with no portrait effigy, reflecting the administrative rather than personal nature of the Congo Free State coinage. |
