| Obverse description | Allegorical seated figure of the French Republic facing left, draped in classical robes and wearing a radiate crown, holding upright a fasces surmounted by a spear in her raised left hand while resting her right hand upon an anchor at her side; a sheaf of grain stands to her left in the field. The circumferential legend REPUBLIQUE FRANCAISE arcs around the upper periphery within a beaded border, with the date 1879 prominently displayed in the lower exergue and the engraver's signature BARRE inscribed below the ground line. The design is executed in high relief in the neoclassical style characteristic of Jean-Auguste Barre's work for the Third French Republic. |
