| Reverse description | The reverse presents an elaborate decorative composition of grapevines, leaves, and clusters of grapes arranged around a central sunflower or radiating medallion, evoking the agricultural wealth and viticultural heritage of Burgundy. The Latin circular legend 'GENEROSI · BVRGVNDIAE · FRVCTVS · VIRIQVE' — meaning 'The generous fruits of Burgundy for all' — runs around the outer border, punctuated by decorative stops. The engraver's signature 'O. YENCESSE' appears discreetly in the lower field among the vine motifs. The overall composition is rendered in a refined Art Nouveau style characteristic of Yencesse's medallic work. |
