| Obverse description | A leopard (Panthera pardus) depicted in profile walking to the right occupies the upper central field, rendered in frosted white relief against the green translucent acrylic disc. Below and to the left, a small seated lion figure serves as the national privy mark of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The denomination '10 FRANCS' and date '2004' appear to the right in the lower field, with the circular legend 'REPUBLIQUE DEMOCRATIQUE DU CONGO' running along the lower rim. The scientific binomial 'Panthera pardus' is inscribed above the leopard near the upper field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a mirror image of the obverse design, as is characteristic of this type of transparent acrylic issue, with the leopard visible in profile walking to the left through the reverse face of the disc. The seated lion privy mark appears in the lower left field, and all legends — including the denomination '10 FRANCS', date '2004', and the circular inscription 'REPUBLIQUE DEMOCRATIQUE DU CONGO' — are readable in reverse (mirror) script when viewed from this side, a natural optical consequence of the transparent plastic medium. |
