| Obverse description | Left-facing effigy of Marianne wearing a Phrygian cap adorned with a composite wreath of olive branches, oak leaves, and wheat ears. The portrait is rendered in high relief in the Morlon style, with fine linear detail on the cap and foliage. The encircling legend REPVBLIQUE FRANÇAISE arcs along the upper periphery of the coin in raised Latin letters. The field is smooth and unadorned, allowing the bust to dominate the design. |
