| Obverse description | Draped bust of General Lafayette facing left, depicted in 18th-century military attire with epaulettes, decorative gorget, and queue-tied powdered wig, adapted after an original model by Benjamin Duvivier. The curved legend 'GÉNÉRAL LA FAYETTE' arcs around the upper field, while 'RÉPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE' runs along the lower periphery, flanked by two raised dots. The engraver's attribution 'D'AP. B. DUVIVIER' appears in small lettering at the base of the truncation. |
