| Reverse description | The reverse bears a reproduction of a medieval seal of Aliénor d'Aquitaine, depicting the queen in regal attire in a style consistent with 12th-century sigillographic art. The circumferential legend, rendered in a medievalising script, reads 'ALIENOR DEI GRACIA REGINE ANGLORUM DUCISSE NORMAN', translating as 'Aliénor, by the grace of God, Queen of England and Duchess of Normandy'. The design draws directly from a historical seal of Eleanor of Aquitaine, lending the coin strong documentary and artistic authenticity. The overall reverse composition evokes the iconography of medieval royal seals, underscoring the coin's place in the 'Coins of History' series dedicated to great figures of French history. |
