| Reverse description | Central design features a finely detailed relief of a standing lion cub, depicted in full figure facing the viewer, set against an outline map of the African continent occupying the field. The date 2015 appears to the upper left of the cub, within the silhouette of the map. The bold inscription BIG FIVE is rendered in large incuse letters diagonally along the lower left of the field. The composition conveys a naturalistic wildlife theme consistent with the Big Five series of miniature gold coins issued for the Democratic Republic of the Congo. |
