Obverse description	Central intaglio vignette of two male figures in a naturalistic setting among tall grasses: a seated figure in the foreground holding a bow faces the viewer, while a second figure behind him draws his bow in a hunting posture.

Two facsimile signature lines — Le Président and Le Directeur Général — are printed to the left, with the date at the lower centre. Engraver and designer credits SÉB. LAURENT FEC. and R. ARMANELLI SC. appear at the bottom margin.
