| Obverse description | The obverse presents a left-facing effigy of Marianne, the allegorical personification of the French Republic, her hair windswept beneath a Phrygian cap, rendered in high relief by engraver Henri Lagriffoul. The legend REPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE encircles the portrait along the rim, with the engraver's name LAGRIFFOUL inscribed in the field. The design conveys a sense of motion and republican idealism characteristic of the mid-twentieth-century French coinage style. |
