| Reverse description | A hot air balloon rises above a grouping of flags, evoking Gambetta's famous escape from besieged Paris in 1870. The face value appears prominently in the field, accompanied by the national motto in three lines and the inscription RÉPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE flanking the date. The word ESSAI confirms this as a pattern strike. The differents and mintmark are present in the field. |
