| Obverse description | Central field features a radiant sun rising above a tablet inscribed with a declaration of equality, flanked on either side by stalks of wheat and a grapevine branch, symbolizing agricultural abundance and republican virtue. The surrounding legend, rendered in Latin script, proclaims the principles of the French Republic and the equality of men before the law, with the date given in Revolutionary calendar notation as Year II. The overall composition reflects the neoclassical allegorical style characteristic of coinage produced during the early French Revolutionary period. |
