| Reverse description | A finely detailed rendering of a Portuguese carrack (nau) in three-quarter view occupies the central field, depicting the vessel's characteristic high-castled hull, multiple masts with furled sails, and rigging rendered in precise relief. The ship is set within an inner border ring, with the curved legend HISTOIRE DE LA NAVIGATION arcing along the upper periphery. The denomination 250 DJF is inscribed in the lower exergue, flanked by two small ornamental dots. The highly polished proof fields provide a striking contrast to the intricately worked design. |
