An open book with a writing quill across it, an antique theater mask reminding us that Hugo was also a playwright, and various characters and elements from Les Misérables: Notre-Dame de Paris in the background, a barricade over which Gavroche straddles, Cosette. The scene is completed with the author`s signature. Circular legend: `RÉPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE`, different and vintage. At the top, on 2 lines, the value.
