| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in blue and features a bold central oval vignette with the word 'FRANCE' in large serif letters, enclosed within a guilloche border carrying the republican motto. Radiating sunburst lines emanate from the central vignette across the entire field, framed by ornate scrollwork and foliate corner devices. The overall design is restrained and symbolic, typical of Allied Military Currency issues produced for liberated France. |
