| Reverse description | A balance scale with pans suspended from a central beam, surmounted by a Phrygian liberty cap, the whole encircled by a laurel and oak wreath. The Gregorian date appears in the lower field beneath the scales. The design directly imitates the French Revolutionary sol aux balances type, with the scales and Phrygian cap serving as emblems of justice and liberty. The encircling legend proclaims the Revolutionary ideals of liberty and equality. |
