| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely modeled portrait bust of the celebrated French actor Gérard Philipe facing slightly to the right, rendered in high relief with naturalistic detail characteristic of the Proof finish. The legend 'CENTENAIRE DU CINEMA' curves along the upper periphery, while the actor's name 'GERARD PHILIPE' is inscribed in raised letters along the lower arc, flanked by decorative dots. The smooth, mirror-like field accentuates the sculptural quality of the portrait, engraved by Joaquin Jimenez. |
