| Reverse description | A highly detailed, full-colour photorealistic depiction of a tree frog rendered in naturalistic tones of green and yellow-gold, shown in a three-quarter profile seated pose with its forelegs extended and its distinctive large, amber-coloured eye prominently visible. The textured skin of the frog is rendered with exceptional detail, including subtle variations in pigmentation across the dorsal and ventral surfaces. The reverse design occupies the entire frog-shaped flan, with no legends or inscriptions present, allowing the coloured image to fill the field completely. |

| Additional information |
Congo's gold wildlife series has carved out a devoted collector niche, with the tree frog issue continuing the pattern of sub-gram fractional gold pieces that skirt the line between bullion and numismatic novelty. At 0.5 g, the planchet is sourced through refinery contracts rather than traditional mint pipelines, which accounts for occasional surface texture variation between individual pieces.
