| Obverse description | The obverse presents an elaborate high-relief allegorical scene inspired by Jules Verne's novel 'From the Earth to the Moon.' In the upper field, a large stylized leaf dominates the composition, with the Moon depicted as a circular medallion in the upper right, its surface rendered with rays and topographic detail. In the lower left, a group of figures in period dress gather around a cannon barrel aimed skyward, accompanied by ladders and tropical flora including flamingos. To the lower right, an industrial landscape with tall smokestacks frames a robed figure gesturing dramatically. The monogram 'RF' (République Française) appears prominently in the central field. The legend 'DE LA TERRE À LA LUNE' curves along the upper periphery in capital letters. |
