| Obverse description | Draped bust of Marianne, the allegorical figure of Liberty, facing right, wearing a Phrygian cap adorned with an olive branch and her hair arranged in loose curls falling to her shoulder. The engraving, by Dupuis, is rendered in a finely detailed Art Nouveau style with naturalistic foliage. The legend REPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE curves around the upper rim, with the word REPUBLIQUE to the left and FRANÇAISE to the right of the effigy. A raised rim borders the design. |

The overall composition is symmetrical and restrained, typical of Third Republic minor coinage. |
