| Obverse description | The obverse features a detailed reproduction of the decorative pattern from the pedestal table created for Tsarina Marie Alexandrovna, commissioned by Tsar Alexander II of Russia. The intricate Baccarat crystal motif dominates the field, rendered with fine engraved detail characteristic of the glassmaker's celebrated craftsmanship. At the center, the monogram 'RF' appears as reproduced from Baccarat's prestigious 'Présidence de la République' service. The overall composition reflects the opulent neoclassical aesthetic associated with the imperial commission, which comprised a matching set including a fountain and candelabra. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts the richly ornamented foot of the Tsar's glass, showcasing the elaborate cut-crystal detailing for which the Baccarat manufactory is renowned. Alongside this, a contemporary figural vignette portrays a glassblower at work, forming a vessel by the traditional mouth-blowing technique, evoking the artisanal heritage of the Baccarat tradition. The characteristic Baccarat octagonal motif, rendered in applied red color, serves as the zero in the denomination inscription.
