| Obverse description | The coat of arms of the Democratic Republic of the Congo occupies the central field, depicting a leopard head facing, flanked by a crossed elephant tusk and spear, all surmounted above a shield bearing the word PAIX, with the flanking inscriptions JUSTICE and TRAVAIL. The circular legend REPUBLIQUE DEMOCRATIQUE DU CONGO runs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 100 FRANCS appears in the lower field. The fineness and weight specification 0.5 g Au 999.9 is inscribed in small characters below the arms. A beaded border frames the entire design. |

| Additional information |
The Democratic Republic of the Congo has issued gold miniature coins in this format since the mid-2010s, targeting the collector market rather than any circulation purpose — the country's actual currency is the Congolese franc, and denominations of this kind exist purely as legal tender fiction. At 0.5 g of fine gold, the intrinsic value vastly outpaces the face value, which is the point.
