5 Francs - Léopold II Pattern

Beschrijving voorzijde	Bare-headed, bearded right-facing effigy of King Léopold II, rendered in high relief with considerable sculptural detail typical of the pattern coinage of the period. The king is depicted with his characteristic long beard and draped at the truncation. A curved legend arcs around the upper periphery of the field, identifying the sovereign as ruler of the Congo Free State. The engraver's name FERNAN DUBOIS appears along the lower periphery. The flat, matte-finished field is characteristic of a proof or essai striking.
