| Reverse description | A mounted knight in full armour, identified with the Grimaldi dynasty, charges to the right upon a caparisoned horse. The knight carries the Grimaldi lozenge shield on his left arm and brandishes a sword in his raised right hand, evoking the historic Grimaldi heraldic device. The dynastic motto DEO JUVANTE arcs along the upper legend, while ESSAI and the denomination 100 FRANCS appear in the lower field and exergue area respectively. The composition is executed in a bold, classical engraving style consistent with Pierre Turin's medallic work. |
