50 Centimes

Aversbeschreibung	A proud Gallic rooster stands facing left in high relief at centre, its detailed plumage finely rendered, perched on rocky ground. To the left of the rooster, a heraldic shield bearing the initials 'RF' (République Française) is prominently displayed. The legend 'MADAGASCAR' curves along the lower periphery in large incuse letters, with the engraver's initials 'CLS' appearing discreetly beneath the rooster. The entire design is enclosed within a continuous beaded border.

Reversbeschreibung	The Cross of Lorraine, symbol of the Free French Forces, dominates the centre of the field, flanked on either side by decorative foliate scrolls. Above the cross, a curved ribbon banner carries the legend 'LIBERTE·EGALITE·FRATERNITE' in two lines, while 'HONNEUR' appears at the left and 'PATRIE' at the right along the inner periphery. The denomination '50 Cmes' is inscribed to the lower right of the cross, with the date '1943' in the exergue flanked by small floral ornaments, and the engraver's initials 'C.L.S' appear below the cross. The whole is enclosed within a beaded border.
