| Reverse description | A faithful reproduction of Chaplain's celebrated Marianne design, presenting a right-facing portrait bust of Marianne, the allegorical figure of the French Republic, wearing a Phrygian cap. The engraver's signature 'J.C. CHAPLAIN' appears in the field, with the legend 'REPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE' inscribed along the periphery. The design is executed in a classical medallic style characteristic of late 19th-century French numismatic art, originally created by Jules-Clément Chaplain. |
