| Obverse description | A full-bodied lion stands to the left in the central field, rendered in high relief with detailed mane and musculature, set upon a grassy groundline. The surrounding field displays a textured, darkened background evoking an African landscape. The circular legend 'REPUBLIQUE DEMOCRATIQUE DU CONGO' arcs along the upper periphery in Latin characters, while the denomination '5 FRANCS' appears in the lower field beneath the lion. |

| Reverse description | A large full-rigged sailing ship navigates turbulent, wave-filled seas, depicted in bold relief occupying the upper two-thirds of the field. The date '2000' appears to the left within the wave composition. Below the nautical scene, a two-line inscription in the field reads 'The PANAMA CANAL – since 1914 a change in route and time.' At the bottom of the reverse, a small outline map of the Isthmus of Panama with the canal route marked is shown in the lower exergue area. |
