| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse bears a full-color reproduction of Georges Seurat's pointillist masterpiece 'A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte' (1884–1886), applied within an ornately decorated rectangular frame. The painting depicts numerous Parisians leisurely gathered on the grassy banks of the River Seine, set on the island of La Grande Jatte, rendered in Seurat's characteristic pointillist technique of small, distinct dots of color. Figures in period dress are shown seated, standing, and strolling beneath trees, with sailboats visible on the river in the background. The decorative border framing the image features fine relief ornamentation, enhancing the presentation of the artwork. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The painting this coin reproduces was completed by Georges Seurat in 1886 after two years of work and roughly 60 preparatory studies — an obsessive process driven by his systematic application of chromoluminarism, the technique he preferred to call his pointillist method. The Art Institute of Chicago has held the original since 1924. Congo's involvement here is purely nominal; these silver-plated pieces were produced for the European collector market under licensing arrangements common to small-denomination commemorative programs issued by central African states with no circulation intent whatsoever.
