| Obverse description | Left-facing bust of General La Fayette in high relief, after the original effigy engraved by Benjamin Duvivier for a monneron token in the late 18th century. The portrait is rendered with fine neoclassical detail, capturing the subject's uniform and characteristic profile. The legend GÉNÉRAL LA FAYETTE D'AP B. DUVIVIER encircles the effigy, attributing the artistic source, while RÉPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE appears in the field completing the national identification. The piéfort format imparts exceptional depth and weight to the relief compared to the standard issue. |
