| Reverse description | Central field displays the inscription BON POUR in two lines above the bold denomination 1 FRANC, with the date below, all enclosed within a laurel and olive wreath tied at the base with a ribbon bow. The circular legend CONTRE-VALEUR DEPOSÉE AU TRÉSOR runs along the periphery. The engraver's signature A. BORREL appears in small lettering at the base of the wreath, just above the ribbon. The overall design is typical of French colonial token coinage, emphasizing fiduciary value backed by the Treasury. |
