| Reverse description | The reverse presents a stark, typographic arrangement in the Art Deco manner, with the denomination 5 FRANCS and the date 1929 inscribed across the central field in seven horizontal lines, accompanied by the Republican motto LIBERTE EGALITE FRATERNITE and the essai designation ESSAI. The central inscription is flanked symmetrically on either side by a vertical stalk of wheat, serving as the principal decorative device. The overall composition is rigorously geometric and restrained, reflecting Turin's modernist design sensibility. |
