Reverse description A decorative arrangement of wheat ears fanned outward and tied with an oak branch forms the central motif, evoking themes of agriculture and national tradition. The denomination and the word ESSAI are inscribed vertically, dividing the stalks at the base. The Vichy motto TRAVAIL FAMILLE PATRIE (Work, Family, Fatherland) appears as the primary legend across the upper portion of the field. The overall composition is emblematic of the Vichy State's ideological imagery.
