Two ribbon banners bear the mottoes JUSTICE to the left and TRAVAIL to the right, with PAIX inscribed on a lower scroll beneath the leopard's head. The country name DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO is inscribed in three lines across the upper field, while the date 2009 appears at lower left and the denomination 10 FRANC at lower right. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a full-color reproduction of Camille Pissarro's Impressionist painting 'The House of Folly at Eragny,' depicting a rural Norman village scene at dusk with rustic farm buildings, dense foliage, a wooden fence in the foreground, and a warmly tinted sky rendered in the artist's characteristic broken-brushstroke technique. The colorized image is set within a decorative ornamental border with interlaced relief motifs framing the composition on all four sides. Below the image field, the artist's name CAMILLE PISSARRO and the title THE HOUSE OF FOLLY AT ERAGNY are inscribed in the legend. |
