| Obverse description | A full-bodied lion stands in profile facing left upon a grassy ground, rendered in fine relief at the centre of the field. The mane is depicted in detailed, flowing lines, and the animal's posture conveys strength and dignity. The curved legend REPUBLIQUE DEMOCRATIQUE DU CONGO arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 10 FRANCS appears in the lower field beneath the lion. The entire design is bordered by a raised beaded inner rim. |

| Additional information |
The Democratic Republic of Congo has issued commemorative silver under the Banque Centrale du Congo since the early 2000s, many produced by European mints for the collector market rather than domestic circulation. KM#180a is the silver variant of a base-metal type, distinguished by the .925 fineness — a detail that matters when sorting through the muddled catalog of Congo fish-series issues, several of which share design families but differ sharply in composition and mintage.
