| Reverse description | The reverse displays the denomination BON POUR 50 CENT. in bold, prominent lettering occupying the central field, with the date 1896 beneath. A continuous circular legend around the periphery reads CONTRE-VALEUR DÉPOSÉE AU TRÉSOR COLONIAL, interrupted by two small five-pointed stars on either side at the lower field, affirming the token's redeemable status against the Colonial Treasury. The entire design is framed by a finely toothed inner border running along the full circumference, giving the coin a neat, formal appearance consistent with French colonial token coinage of the late 19th century. |
