| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely detailed portrait bust of the French actress Arletty (Léonie Bathiat, 1898–1992) in left-facing profile, rendered in a smooth, classicising relief style evoking the golden age of French cinema. Her hair is swept back and she wears a loosely draped scarf or collar at the neck. The legend 'CENTENAIRE DU CINEMA' curves along the upper rim in evenly spaced capital letters. The name 'ARLETTY' is inscribed in a straight line along the lower rim, serving as the sole identification of the subject. |
