| Obverse description | Central device depicts a robed female figure standing in three-quarter profile, holding aloft a large stone tablet bearing inscribed text, evoking an allegorical or civic motif. The legend REPUBLIQUE DU CONGO arcs across the upper field in bold raised letters, while the denomination 1000 FRANCS appears in large characters along the lower field. The date is split to either side of the central device, with '19' to the left and '99' to the right. The entire design is contained within a raised rectangular border with a mirror-polished proof field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely detailed naturalistic scene depicting two gerenuk (Litocranius walleri) in a savanna landscape: a recumbent female to the left and a standing male to the right, its characteristic elongated neck and lyre-shaped horns rendered with precision. Tall palm trees occupy the left field, with low vegetation and rocky ground beneath the animals. The binomial scientific name LITOCRANIUS WALLERI is inscribed vertically along the right margin in raised letters. The composition fills the rectangular flan to its raised border, with a proof-quality mirror field enhancing the sculptural relief. |
