| Obverse description | A rampant lion facing left occupies the central field, rendered against a finely engine-turned checkered or guilloche background enclosed within a raised inner circle. The national motto 'L'UNION FAIT LA FORCE' curves around the upper periphery, while the denomination '20 Cs.' flanked by two five-pointed stars appears in the lower legend along with the engraver's name 'BRAEMT'. The outer border is defined by a continuous dentilated rim, giving the design a crisp, medallic finish consistent with pattern coinage of the period. |
