| Obverse description | Left-facing draped bust of Marianne wearing a winged Phrygian cap, rendered in the neoclassical style by engraver L. Bazor. The field to the left of the effigy depicts ships at sea, alluding to France's maritime heritage and colonial trade. The engraver's signature 'L BAZOR' and the initials 'GB' appear near the truncation. The legend 'REPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE UNION FRANÇAISE' encircles the design, with the word 'ESSAI' and the date '1948' also present, confirming this as an official trial piece. |
