| Obverse description | A finely detailed full-body effigy of a lion passant occupies the central field, depicted standing to the right upon a grassy ground, its mane rendered with crisp high-relief detail. The field is plain and polished, framed by a continuous beaded border running along the inner rim. The legend REPUBLIQUE DEMOCRATIQUE DU CONGO arcs along the upper periphery in raised Latin characters. The denomination 100 FRANCS is inscribed in the lower field beneath the lion. |

| Reverse description | The central field features a vibrantly colored holographic depiction of a Bird of Paradise perched on a dark branch, rendered in vivid shades of red, orange, yellow, and teal using an applied color technique against the burnished gold ground. The bird is shown in profile facing left, with its spectacular ornamental plumage fanning dramatically upward and behind. The legend WILDLIFE PROTECTION arcs along the upper periphery, and the date 2004 is inscribed along the lower right, both in raised Latin characters. The composition is framed by a smooth raised rim without a beaded border on this face. |
