| Reverse description | A panoramic view of the Monaco harbour occupies the lower portion of the field, with ships and waterfront buildings rendered in low relief. A laurel branch with a heraldic shield is depicted at upper left, and two birds in flight appear at upper right with the engraver's signature SZIRMAI. A large inscribed plaque dominates the centre, bearing a lengthy dedicatory French text to Camille Blanc. A concluding legend in larger lettering runs along the bottom border. |
