| Beschrijving voorzijde | A standing lion facing right in full profile occupies the central field, rendered in fine relief atop a grassy ground line. The legend REPUBLIQUE DEMOCRATIQUE DU CONGO arcs along the upper periphery within a beaded border, while the denomination 5 FRANCS appears in the lower field beneath the lion. The design is executed in a clean, classical style with the beaded inner border framing the entire composition. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse features a large holographic depiction of a brown butterfly with wings spread, displayed symmetrically at centre, exhibiting iridescent colours of brown, blue, red and green across the wing surfaces. The inscription WILD LIFE PROTECTION arcs along the upper left periphery and the date 2002 along the upper right, both in incuse lettering within the smooth field. The holographic treatment of the butterfly produces a striking prismatic effect, emphasising the wildlife conservation theme of the series. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Democratic Republic of the Congo's early 2000s collector issues emerged from a country in the throes of the Second Congo War, a conflict that by 2002 had drawn in six neighboring nations and was killing an estimated three million people through violence and disease. Coins like this one were never intended for domestic circulation — they were produced for the international novelty collector market, a reliable hard-currency revenue stream for a government whose own economy had effectively collapsed.
KM#93 is part of a broader wildlife series minted under contract by foreign facilities, standard practice for DRC collector issues of this period.
