Obverse description	At left, an intaglio portrait of King Baudouin I in military uniform with epaulettes is set against a fine guilloche underprint in blue; to the right, a vignette presents an aerial view of an industrial or urban complex enclosed within ornate guilloche borders. The denomination "MILLE FRANCS" and the clause "PAYABLES A VUE" appear in the upper centre, with two manuscript signatures below the titles "UN DIRECTEUR" and "LE GOUVERNEUR".

Reverse description	The reverse is executed in blue, with a central intaglio vignette of a Congolese village scene — thatched-roof huts set among palm trees rendered in fine line work. The denomination "DUIZEND FRANK" and the clause "BETAALBAAR OP ZICHT" are inscribed centrally, above two manuscript signatures under the titles "DE GOUVERNEUR" and "EEN DIRECTEUR", with ornate guilloche cornerpieces framing the composition.
