| Obverse description | Central depiction of the famous ancient Egyptian seated scribe statue (Le Scribe Accroupi), rendered in high relief, shown cross-legged with a papyrus scroll across his lap and hands posed in writing position. The figure is flanked to the left by stylized lotus or papyrus plant motifs rising from the lower field. The Republican monogram 'RF' (République Française) appears prominently in the lower left field. The legend 'LE SCRIBE ACCROUPI' arcs along the upper right rim in raised Latin lettering. The overall composition is executed in a refined medallic style evoking the celebrated Louvre masterpiece. |
