Below the ground line, the large denomination numeral '5' is prominently displayed alongside the abbreviation 'FR', flanked on the left by a five-pointed star. The bilingual issuing authority legend BANQUE DU CONGO BELGE curves along the upper periphery and BANK VAN BELGISCH CONGO along the lower, reflecting the French and Dutch names of the Bank of the Belgian Congo. A beaded border frames the entire design. |
