| Reverse description | A wreath composed of olive branches on the left and oak branches on the right, tied at the base with a ribbon bow, encloses the central inscriptions ESSAI and the date 1855 arranged in two lines within the open field. The peripheral legend PRESSE MONETAIRE arcs across the upper half of the coin, while M. L. BOVY A GENEVE is inscribed along the lower arc, identifying the maker and place of manufacture. Two small decorative rosettes appear at the lateral extremities of the wreath. The entire design is executed in high relief on the thickened piedfort flan and is framed by a continuous beaded border. |
