| Obverse description | A finely detailed standing lion in profile facing right occupies the central field, rendered in high relief with an elaborate mane and naturalistic musculature, standing upon a grassy ground line. The circular legend REPUBLIQUE DEMOCRATIQUE DU CONGO arcs along the upper periphery in Latin characters. The denomination 10 FRANCS appears in bold relief along the lower field beneath the lion. The mirror-like proof field provides strong contrast against the frosted device. |
