| Obverse description | A finely detailed, high-relief depiction of a standing lion in profile facing left occupies the central field, rendered with naturalistic musculature and a prominent mane, its forepaws resting upon a grassy ground line. The circular legend REPUBLIQUE DEMOCRATIQUE DU CONGO arcs along the upper periphery in raised Latin capitals. The denomination 10 Francs appears in the lower field beneath the lion, separated from the legend by the smooth mirror-like field characteristic of proof-style striking. |
