| Obverse description | Draped bust of King Léopold II facing left, rendered in high relief with naturalistic detail including his characteristic beard and aged features. The surrounding legend reads LEOP. II R. D. BELG. SOUV. DE L'ETAT INDEP. DU CONGO, distributed around the periphery of the field. The engraver's signature FERNANDUBOIS appears incuse in the lower portion of the field beneath the truncation. The portrait is boldly modelled in the academic style characteristic of late 19th-century Belgian medallic art. |
