| Reverse description | The reverse features a boldly struck device of a rooster standing in profile facing right, rendered in high relief. A curved legend arcs around the upper field reading MONNAIE DE SINGE, a French expression meaning token or worthless money, consistent with the token's use as a house token in a Parisian brothel. |
