| Reverse description | Central denomination 10 / FRANCS displayed in two lines within an open wreath formed by two symmetrical laurel branches tied at the base with a decorative bow, their tips meeting at the top of the field. The date 1868 appears below the denomination, with the Paris mint mark A at the very base beneath the wreath. The circular legend EMPIRE FRANÇAIS runs along the upper periphery. This reverse corresponds to the standard Barre-engraved type for the Second Empire 10-franc gold coinage, faithfully replicated on this contemporary counterfeit. |
