Obverse description	A draped female allegorical figure, seated and facing slightly right, holds a stone tablet inscribed with the national motto UNITE TRAVAIL PROGRES in three lines within the field. The legend REPUBLIQUE DU CONGO curves along the upper periphery, while the denomination 20.000 FRANCS is inscribed in two lines along the lower rim. The figure's hair is arranged in a classical upswept style, and her robes fall in flowing folds, lending the design a neoclassical character. The field is deeply mirrored in keeping with the proof finish.
