| Reverse description | An allegorical composition by Élie-Jean Vézien depicting three standing or seated figures emblematic of the Vichy motto: at left, a bare-chested male worker stands beside a sheaf of wheat representing Labour (TRAVAIL); at right, a uniformed soldier bearing a rifle represents the Fatherland (PATRIE); in the centre foreground, a seated woman nurses an infant, symbolising Family (FAMILLE). The denomination 10 FRANCS and the word FAMILLE appear in the upper field, with TRAVAIL and PATRIE flanking the composition at left and right respectively. The date 1943 appears in the lower exergue, and the engraver's signature E.J. VÉZIEN is visible in the lower field. The word ESSAI is inscribed vertically along the left inner border, confirming the pattern status of this piece. |
