| Obverse description | Left-facing bust of an Arawak man adorned with a feathered headband, rendered in low relief within a raised circle. The effigy is attributed to the designer A. Patey, whose name appears in the field. The encircling legend reads RÉPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE GUADELOUPE ET DÉPENDANCES, referencing the French colonial authority over the island and its dependencies. The portrait reflects the Beaux-Arts academic style characteristic of late 19th-century French colonial coinage. |
