| Reverse description | The reverse features a large, bold numeral '5' dominating the central field, rendered in a distinctive cursive style with strong relief and a hollowed interior, characteristic of the Guilleminet design aesthetic. The date 1961 is inscribed in Roman numerals along the upper arc, while the denomination legend 'centimes' curves along the lower periphery in matching cursive script. Two privy marks flank the numeral '5' at mid-field: the engraver's mark to the left and the mint director's owl mark to the right. On piefort specimens bearing the ESSAI designation, the word ESSAI also appears in the field. |
