Reverse description Central denomination numeral 5 FRANCS displayed prominently in the field, accompanied by the national motto TRAVAIL ET PROGRES (Work and Progress) arranged in a complementary legend. The date 1887 appears in the lower portion of the design, likely within or just above the exergue. The overall reverse composition is clean and typographic in character, consistent with Belgian colonial coinage of the period, with the lettering rendered in a classical serif style within a beaded or plain border.
