| Obverse description | Left-facing effigy of Marianne wearing a winged Phrygian cap, rendered in high relief with fine detailing. Four sailing ships appear in the background field, evoking France's maritime heritage. The date 1948 is inscribed below the bust, followed by the engraver's privy mark. The encircling legend reads REPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE UNION FRANÇAISE, with the engraver's signature L.BAZOR and the mark GB also present. The design is attributed to engraver Lucien Georges Bazor in a style characteristic of mid-twentieth-century French coinage. |
