| Obverse description | Central round hole flanked by the large monogram initials 'R' and 'F' (for République Française) in bold relief, surmounted by a small Phrygian cap above the hole. The monogram is framed within an ornate cartouche rendered in the Art Nouveau style. The entire design is enclosed by a wreath of oak branches with acorns to either side, and a rope-twist border runs along the coin's outer rim. The engraver's signature 'E. LINDAUER' appears in small lettering at the base of the design. |
