| Obverse description | The obverse features the national arms of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, comprising a leopard's head facing forward at centre, flanked by an elephant tusk to the left and a spear to the right, all above a wavy base. The date 2019 is divided across the lower field, with '20' to the left and '19' to the right of the arms. The fineness and weight inscription '0.5 g .999 GOLD' appears in the upper field. The circular legend 'REPUBLIQUE DEMOCRATIQUE DU CONGO' runs along the upper periphery, and the denomination '100 FRANCS' is inscribed along the lower rim, all within a beaded border. |

| Additional information |
The Democratic Republic of Congo has issued a long-running series of small-format gold fractionals under the "Thebes" name, targeting the bullion gift market rather than circulation. These pieces have no meaningful relationship to the DRC's monetary history — they exist because sub-gram gold coins sell.
