| Obverse description | Depicted in high relief, Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte stands in three-quarter view to the right, his right arm outstretched in an oath gesture, wearing civilian dress with a decoration on his chest. Behind him, members of the National Assembly are seated in a tiered hemicycle, rendered in lower relief to create depth. The scene commemorates the swearing-in ceremony before the French Assembly. |
