| Reverse description | Central round hole flanked by the large denomination numeral '5' to the left and the abbreviated unit 'C MES' to the right, rendered in bold raised figures. The Republican motto 'LIBERTÉ ÉGALITÉ FRATERNITÉ' arcs along the upper rim, while the date '1938' appears in the lower field enclosed by raised dots, confirming the essai (pattern) issue. Decorative foliate motifs fill the remaining annular field, consistent with Lindauer's characteristic design vocabulary. |
