| Reverse description | The reverse presents a split composition contrasting two views of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris: the left half depicts the monumental arch in three-quarter perspective, showing its sculpted bas-reliefs and imposing attic storey in fine architectural detail, while the right half displays the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier beneath the arch, with the eternal flame rendered above the inscription-covered slab. The commemorative dates '1806' and '2006', marking the bicentennial of the arch's commission by Napoleon I, appear in the lower field. The legend 'ARC DE TRIOMPHE' arcs along the upper border, with the dedicatory inscription 'ICI REPOSE UN SOLDAT FRANÇAIS MORT POUR LA PATRIE 1914–1918' associated with the tomb representation. |
