| 裏面の説明 | The reverse depicts a full-bodied African elephant in bold relief, shown in left-facing profile as it strides across a flat ground line that bisects the lower field. The animal is rendered with considerable naturalistic detail, conveying mass and movement through the sculptural modelling of its hide, tusks, and limbs. The date appears in the exergue below the ground line in large, widely spaced numerals. A small engraver's privy mark is visible near the elephant's hindquarters. The design is framed by a beaded border consistent with the obverse. |

The Banque du Congo Belge issued this brass piece as a direct consequence of wartime metal shortages that had disrupted colonial coinage throughout the early 1940s. Belgium itself was under German occupation, severing normal administrative channels, and the Congo's monetary supply was managed increasingly from London and through colonial banking structures operating at arm's length from Brussels.
Brass was a practical concession — nickel and copper-nickel alloys had been diverted to the war effort, and the switch carried into the immediate postwar years longer than anticipated.
