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 is placed below.

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.

Depicts a portrait of Pierre De Coubertin in an oval shape, an Olympic torch below the right of his portrait with the issue date within a circle surrounded by the inscription of occasion, date and his name below.

Pierre de Coubertin (1863–1937) was a French educator, historian, and founder of the modern Olympic Games. Inspired by his belief in the value of sports for fostering international understanding and personal development, Coubertin aimed to revive the ancient Greek tradition of the Olympic Games as a way to promote peace and unity. In 1894, he founded the International Olympic Committee (IOC), and two years later, the first modern Olympics were held in Athens, Greece.

Coubertin championed the ideals of amateurism and sportsmanship, emphasizing participation over winning. His contributions included designing the Olympic rings symbol, representing the unity of the five continents, and introducing the Olympic motto Citius, Altius, Fortius ("Faster, Higher, Stronger"). His vision laid the foundation for the global celebration of sports that continues to this day.
