Depicts an official emblem of the Laurent Kabila regime: a mature male lion standing to the left amid the grass, symbolizing strength and authority. Above the lion is the country’s name in French, and the denomination of the issue is placed below within a beaded circle.

Kabila’s regime, which began in 1997 after he overthrew Mobutu Sese Seko, was characterized by efforts to rebuild the Democratic Republic of the Congo (formerly Zaire) after decades of dictatorship. His government sought to restore national sovereignty, but faced internal conflict and external pressures, particularly during the Second Congo War.

Dolphins are highly intelligent marine mammals belonging to the family Delphinidae and are found in oceans and rivers worldwide. Known for their playful behavior, agility, and sociable nature, dolphins communicate through a complex system of clicks, whistles, and body movements. They have streamlined bodies and are powerful swimmers, reaching speeds of up to 25 miles per hour (40 km/h). Many species, such as the bottlenose dolphin, display cooperative hunting tactics, working together to herd fish and other prey. Dolphins are also known for their advanced problem-solving skills and ability to learn tasks, which has fascinated scientists and the public alike. However, they face threats from environmental pollution, fishing nets, and habitat destruction, making conservation efforts vital for their protection.
