| Reverse description | The reverse presents a detailed high-relief depiction of the corvette L'Astrolabe under full sail navigating through Antarctic ice floes, with figures of crew members visible on shore in the foreground hauling lines. The denomination '1 1/2 E' is prominently displayed to the left of the vessel in large characters. Two anchor devices flank the lower field on either side. The legend 'LA CORVETTE L'ASTROLABE' arcs along the upper rim, while 'HISTOIRE DE LA MARINE FRANÇAISE' curves along the lower rim. The service dates '1811 - 1851' appear above the lower legend in the exergue area, and the engraver's initials 'JL' are visible in the lower right field. |
