Brief description This banknote honors the distinctive culture and daily life of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The visual design blends indigenous tribal art with the natural richness of Africa's river regions.

Obverse: The main focal point features the "Mwana Pwo" female mask, a prominent artifact of the Chokwe people. This mask traditionally personifies femininity, ancestral mothers, and the ideal of female beauty in African art. The layout also includes the official signature of the Governor of the Central Bank of the Congo.

Reverse: The back depicts the traditional lifestyle of the country's riverine communities, showing a scenic fishermen's village on the banks of the massive Congo River. A detailed depiction of a fish features prominently in the design, highlighting the importance of river fishing to the local economy.

Watermark: The paper features a local watermark depicting the head of an Okapi—a rare African mammal related to the giraffe that bears physical similarities to a zebra.

Why add to your collection: This note serves as a striking representation of Central African ethnic design. It is highly suitable for topical collections centered on traditional African masks and tribal rituals, indigenous cultures, river commerce (fishing, boats, and marine life), or African fauna and rare wildlife (okapis) on currency.
