| Reverse description | The reverse presents a detailed panoramic scene commemorating the Montgolfier brothers' pioneering hot air balloon flight. At centre, a richly ornamented Montgolfier balloon dominates the composition, rising above a landscape populated with crowds of onlookers, with a townscape and hills visible in the background, all rendered in finely modelled relief. In the lower portion of the field, two facing busts of Joseph and Étienne Montgolfier are depicted in period costume, set against contrasting polished fields in the lower left and right corners. The inscription JOSEPH & ÉTIENNE MONTGOLFIER appears in the exergue along the lower edge. |
