| Reverse description | The reverse depicts an architectural tableau evoking the life and literary legacy of the French novelist Stendhal (Henri Beyle): in the background, the facades of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome and Milan Cathedral are rendered in low relief, referencing the two Italian cities central to his biography and works. In the foreground, an open book with a writing quill laid across it symbolises his literary output, accompanied by a laurel sprig alluding to the honours of his consulship. The denomination '10' and the legend 'FRANCS' appear prominently, with the date '1983' and the engraver's signature 'J. MAUVIEL' inscribed in the field. The word 'ESSAI' is struck vertically at the 2 o'clock position on the reverse, identifying this piece as a trial or essay strike. |
