| Reverse description | At left center, an intaglio vignette within a shaped cartouche shows a traditionally dressed Wagenia tribesman in full regalia, adorned with beadwork and feathered headdress. To the right, a scene illustrates the characteristic Wagenia creel-fishing apparatus — tall wooden pole scaffolding with conical basket traps suspended over the Congo River. A multicolored guilloche rosette at far right carries the numeral '50' and the inscription 'MAKUTA'; the lower border bears 'BANQUE DU ZAÏRE' in bold lettering flanked by '50' numerals, with the printer's imprint 'GIESECKE & DEVRIENT · MUNICH' below. A 'BZ' monogram medallion with guilloche underprint appears at lower left, and the anti-counterfeiting warning 'LE CONTREFACTEUR EST PUNI DE SERVITUDE PENALE' is printed at upper left. |
