| Obverse description | A stylized bunch of bananas (Musa x paradisiaca, family Musaceae) rendered in bold incuse outline occupies the central field within a raised inner circle. The design is executed in a modernist African graphic style, with the curved fruit forms arranged in an overlapping, radiating composition. The circumferential legend KATANGA appears in angular, stylized Latin capitals around the outer border, flanked at the lower left and lower right by two small Katanga crosses serving as decorative stops. |
