| Reverse description | A classical allegorical figure of Liberty is depicted seated, embodying the dual virtues of peace and justice through her attributes: an olive branch symbolizing peace, and a sword and scales representing justice. The composition reflects the neoclassical artistic conventions prevalent in European pattern coinage of the 1850s, consistent with the work of French engraver Louis-Charles Bouvet. The date of issue, 1855, is inscribed in the exergue or lower field below the central figure. The overall design is finely executed in the manner of contemporary French medallic art, befitting a presentation or pattern piece. |
