| Obverse description | Left-facing draped bust of Marianne, her flowing hair adorned with a small star above the ear, occupying the central field. The legend RÉPUBLIQUE DE LA GUYANNE INDÉPENDANTE curves around the periphery, separated from the toothed border by a raised rim. The word ESSAI appears in the lower field beneath the truncation, and a small floral ornament is visible at the very bottom of the field. The portrait is rendered in a bold, high-relief style characteristic of late nineteenth-century French pattern coinage. |
