| Reverse description | The denomination 5 FRANCS is displayed prominently in the upper central field, with the date 1959 below it. Flanking the central legend is a decorative arrangement of symbolic plants, comprising an olive branch, an oak branch, and an ear of wheat, representing peace, strength, and prosperity respectively. The republican motto LIBERTE·EGALITE·FRATERNITE is inscribed in a curved legend encircling the lower portion of the design, separated by small dots. The overall composition is restrained and classically balanced, consistent with the Semeuse series aesthetic. |
