| Reverse description | The reverse presents a richly coloured and highly detailed depiction of Mont-Saint-Michel rising from its tidal bay, rendered with vivid polychrome enamel colouring: the surrounding sea in turquoise and blue tones, the abbey and village structures in warm gold and ochre hues, and the island's vegetation in green. The abbey church, with its soaring Gothic spire, crowns the rocky mount above the walled medieval village and fortified ramparts at the base. The background field above the island displays an intricate guilloche or tracery pattern in proof finish, evoking stained-glass or Romanesque decorative motifs. The name 'MONT SAINT MICHEL' is inscribed in two lines in large relief lettering across the upper portion of the field. The commemorative dates '1023 - 2023' appear in the lower field, marking the millennium anniversary of the laying of the abbey church's foundation stone. |
