| Reverse description | Central design depicts the five-masted steel barque France II under full sail, rendered in selective gold gilding against a mirrored silver field, with rigging and hull details finely engraved. The majestic vessel is shown underway on a stylised sea, with a small steamship visible in the lower right distance and a port scene at lower left, evoking the vessel's era of commercial sail. A scrolled banner in the upper portion of the field bears the ship's name 'FRANCE II', accompanied by a small coat of arms device. To the upper right, a beaded circular cartouche contains a portrait bust of Victor Lagniel, the vessel's captain, with his name inscribed around the circumference. |
