| Obverse description | Central vignette by L. Vallée shows a returning poilu, musette slung over his shoulder, greeted by his dog as he advances with outstretched arms toward his family; his wife, in peasant dress, extends her arms while flanked by two children, one holding a laurel wreath. Inscriptions TRESORERIE AVX ARMEES and 1 FRANC frame the scene, with printer imprints IMP.NAT. and L.VALLÉE DEL. in the lower margin. |
