| Reverse description | The reverse depicts two allegorical figures representing epoch-making historical events: in the upper field, a seated robed figure on a plinth, identifiable as a representation of the Buddha or a similar Eastern sage, rendered in fine relief; in the lower field, a striding semi-draped female figure — evoking the French republican allegory of Marianne as depicted in Delacroix's 'Liberty Leading the People' — advances to the right bearing a large flag in her left hand and a rifle with bayonet in her right. The legend 'EPOCH-MAKING EVENTS' curves along the outer border of the crescent-shaped flan. |
