| Obverse description | The obverse of this rectangular silver piece is divided into two panels by a vertical rule. The left panel features a high-relief rendering of Degas's celebrated pastel composition 'L'Étoile' (The Star), depicting a ballerina in full arabesque with arms extended gracefully above her head, her tutu rendered in fine detail against a plain field. The right panel carries the monogram 'RF' (République Française) in bold block lettering at the upper right, with the artist's name 'Degas' inscribed below in a flowing cursive script that evokes a painted signature. The legend 'L'Étoile 1875/76' appears in the lower right of the right panel, referencing the original artwork's title and date of creation. |
