| Obverse description | The obverse features a purely typographic design with no effigy. The denomination '40 RÉAUX' is displayed prominently in two lines at the center of the field, enclosed within a wreath of laurel branches tied at the base. A circular legend reading 'ISABELLE II REINE D'ESPAGNE' runs along the periphery, separated from the wreath by a row of beads. A small six-pointed star ornament appears at the bottom, between the wreath and the legend. The overall design is characteristic of mid-19th century French engraving practice, with bold raised lettering on a smooth, polished field showing rich iridescent toning. |
