Design
Obverse: The obverse of the coin bears the forward facing male lion design taken from the seal of Congo, the issuing authority of this coin. The denomination, date, purity and content are also inscribed.
Reverse: The reverse of the coin features a pair of adult lions sitting in the Serengeti gazing over their territory alert to anything that moves. The term "African Lion" and the year are superimposed on the image.
