| Reverse description | A grotesque heraldic eagle with spread wings depicted with an owl's head in place of the traditional imperial eagle's head, perched on a bundle of thunderbolts, serving as a satirical parody of the Napoleonic imperial eagle. A beaded inner border frames the central device, with the legend distributed around the periphery referencing the coup d'état of 2 December 1851 and the defeat at Sedan on 2 September 1870. |
