| Reverse description | The central vignette presents an allegorical composition entitled LA SAGESSE FIXE LA FORTUNE, in which two female figures representing Wisdom and Fortune occupy the primary field. Two putti flank the composition at left and right, each holding an escutcheon incorporating a dolphin motif and the bill's denomination value. The engraving is executed in a refined intaglio style consistent with late nineteenth-century French banknote production. |
