| Reverse description | The national coat of arms of Zaïre — a green shield enclosing a hand grasping a flaming torch on a yellow ground, surrounded by a radiating wreath of red flames — is centred on the note within an elaborate guilloche frame. To the lower left, a circular BZ monogram device appears in red, and the counterfeiting warning text is printed in the upper left margin. The large numeral '10' and the word 'ZAÏRES' are rendered in green intaglio to the right, with the bank name in a letterpress panel across the bottom. |
