| Reverse description | The reverse reproduces in color a detailed rendition of the Malmaison version of Jacques-Louis David's celebrated 1801 painting 'Napoleon Crossing the Alps', depicting Napoleon Bonaparte astride a rearing white horse on a rocky Alpine pass. Napoleon is shown in a flowing red cloak and bicorne hat, his right arm outstretched and pointing upward, conveying heroic command and dynamism. The composition faithfully captures the dramatic interplay of horse, rider, and mountainous background characteristic of David's Neoclassical style. The legend 'NAPOLÉON BONAPARTE 1769-1821' is inscribed within the design, referencing the subject's birth and death years. |
