| Reverse description | The face value '25 c' appears in the upper field above the date '1922', both positioned beneath a vine branch bearing a bunch of grapes, with a caduceus to the right symbolising commerce. The issuer's name THEVENON is inscribed in the lower portion of the field, identifying the manufacturer. The design reflects the commercial emergency coinage tradition of post-World War I France. |
