| Reverse description | A two-masted sailing schooner under full sail is depicted in the central field, rendered in crisp relief upon calm stylised waves, evoking the fishing and maritime heritage of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon. Below the waterline, the denomination 2 Frs is displayed prominently, flanked by a naturalistic motif of codfish, the emblematic species of the islands' traditional economy. The territorial name SAINT PIERRE ET MIQUELON arcs along the upper periphery in bold Latin lettering, separated by small raised dots serving as decorative punctuation at regular intervals around the border. |
