Reverse description	Plain octagonal flan with a beaded border following the contour of all eight sides. The denomination numeral '50' is rendered in large, bold incuse-style raised figures occupying the central field, indicating the face value of fifty centimes. The design is intentionally stark and utilitarian, typical of French municipal emergency coinage of the early twentieth century.
