| Reverse description | Highly detailed depiction of the Petit Minou lighthouse situated on a rocky promontory along the Brittany coast of France. The square-based stone tower, rendered with individually defined ashlar blocks, rises prominently to the right of the field and is surmounted by a colored red lantern room with a white gallery, applied in vibrant polychrome enamel. To the left, a dramatic cresting ocean wave, colorized in deep teal, surges over the rocky coastline, creating a striking contrast with the antiqued silver field. The rugged cliffs and a low stone sea wall are rendered in high relief, conveying the exposed, storm-battered character of the site. The inscription PETIT MINOU arcs along the upper rim in bold raised letters. |
