| Reverse description | An allegorical seated figure of the Republic, helmeted and draped, faces left at center, holding a laurel branch in her right hand while a young child at her left offers a sheaf of wheat, symbolizing abundance and civic virtue. Rays of light emanate from behind the central group, filling the upper field. The denomination 5 C appears in large numerals at the lower right, with the word ESSAI inscribed diagonally below it, confirming the trial or pattern status of this piece. The legend LIBERTE EGALITE FRATERNITE curves around the upper periphery, and the engraver's signature DANIEL-DUPUIS is present in the lower left field. |
