| Reverse description | The large numeral '1' dominates the upper central field, flanked symmetrically by two ornate decorative sprays of acanthus-like foliage rendered in high relief. Below the numeral, a three-line inscription in French identifies the graphic design competition for the ECU. The stylised word 'ecu' in lower case, with the 'e' rendered as the euro-precursor symbol, appears prominently at the base of the field. The IPN monogram is inscribed in the lower exergue, while the bilingual legend 'THE GRAPHIC COMPETITION' runs along the left and right rims respectively. A beaded border frames the entire design. |
