| Obverse description | Seated allegorical figure of Marianne, personification of the French Republic, depicted wearing a winged Phrygian cap symbolising liberty, with a cornucopia filled with fruits and nuts held in her right hand and a lit torch raised in her left hand. The figure is rendered in a classical allegorical style within a composed field. The legend REPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE UNION FRANÇAISE arcs around the design, with the engraver's signature G.B.BAZOR and the date 1952 appearing in the field. The word ESSAI, denoting trial or pattern status, is also inscribed. |
