| Reverse description | The central field features a large numeral '1' set against a finely engine-turned guilloche background within a raised inner circle, with the denomination CENTIME inscribed within a decorative tablet or cartouche immediately below. The circular legend GAL LÉGITIME PRÉSIDENT arcs along the upper periphery in raised Latin capitals, referencing President Florvil Hyppolite's rival François Légitime. Two five-pointed stars flank the date 1889, which appears at the base of the design. The whole is enclosed within a beaded border consistent with the obverse. |
