| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in rose-red and dark blue, with fine radiating line guilloche work emanating from a central oval vignette bearing the bold inscription FRANCE. The words LIBERTÉ, ÉGALITÉ, and FRATERNITÉ are arranged around the oval on the guilloche band, flanked by ornamental scroll cornerpieces. The overall composition is unadorned by portraiture, reflecting the Allied Military Currency character of the issue. |
