| Reverse description | Central field bears a three-line inscription reading TROIS. / SOLS. / 1787., with a small cross separating the denomination from the date below. The entire central device is encircled by a wreath composed of fleurs-de-lis, rendered in a neat, stylized manner consistent with French colonial coinage of the period. A beaded inner ring borders the wreath, with the milled edge of the coin forming the outermost boundary. The reverse design is simple and legible, emphasizing the denomination and date without figurative imagery. |
