| 正面描述 | Five crowned royal cyphers of King Léopold II, each comprising an interlaced 'L' monogram surmounted by a royal crown, arranged radially around the central hole to form a five-pointed star pattern. An inner beaded circle frames the central design, while the bilingual legend 'CONGO BELGE · BELGISCH-CONGO ·' runs along the outer rim. A small five-pointed star appears at the lower left of the field, and the toothed border encircles the entire design. |

Belgian Congo's first coinage was authorized in 1887 under the Congo Free State — Leopold II's personal possession, not a Belgian colony — but the 1909 issue appeared in the final year of his reign, after international outrage over rubber quota atrocities had already forced the transfer of the territory to the Belgian state in 1908. This coin therefore carries the king's effigy under a colonial authority he no longer personally controlled; he died in December 1909.
