| Reverse description | Three tall sugar cane plants, rendered in finely detailed relief, occupy the central field and serve as the primary design motif, symbolising Réunion's principal agricultural product. The numeral '5' appears prominently to the left of the central stalk, with the abbreviated denomination 'Frs' to the right, the two elements flanking the plants. The territorial name RÉUNION is inscribed as a straight legend across the upper field above the cane fronds, surmounted by a stylised wave or foliage ornament along the upper rim. |
