| Obverse lettering | REPUBLIQUE DEMOCRATIQUE DU CONGO 10 FRANCS 2005 |
| Reverse description | The reverse presents the same laser-engraved design as the obverse, appearing as a mirror image due to the transparent acrylic medium through which both sides are visible. The full-rigged tall ship Amerigo Vespucci is depicted in broadside view occupying the upper field, with intricate detail of masts, yards, and hull. A lion passant device appears centrally below the vessel, above the denomination 10 FRANCS and date 2005. The legend REPUBLIQUE DEMOCRATIQUE DU CONGO is inscribed along the lower arc. The reversed lettering and imagery are characteristic of this type of engraved acrylic novelty issue. |
