| Reverse description | The reverse reproduces Eugène Delacroix's monumental oil painting La Liberté guidant le peuple (1830), faithfully rendered in full color across the rectangular flan. The central figure of Liberty, personified as Marianne, strides forward bare-breasted over fallen combatants, holding aloft the tricolor flag of France in her right hand and a bayoneted musket in her left. The surrounding composition depicts revolutionary fighters from various social strata surging forward in a dramatic allegorical scene emblematic of the July Revolution. The inscriptions EUGÈNE DELACROIX and LA LIBERTÉ GUIDANT LE PEUPLE appear within the design, with the date 2023 also present in the legend field. |
