Obverse description Allegorical figure of Liberty seated on a throne in three-quarter view facing left, holding an upright lit torch in her raised left hand, with a cornucopia filled with tropical fruit resting in the crook of her right arm. The design is executed in a refined Art Deco style characteristic of Bazor's work. The peripheral legend reads REPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE and UNION FRANÇAISE, with the designer's signature G.B.BAZOR and the date 1949 inscribed in the field. The word ESSAI appears as part of the legend, confirming the pattern status of this piece.
