| Reverse description | Central device depicts a winged caduceus — a staff entwined by two serpents with spread wings — set against a panoramic background of formal royal gardens and palatial neoclassical architecture. The legend QUID NON ARTE VALET arcs around the upper field, and the inscription BATIMENS DU ROY appears in the lower exergue, identifying this as a jeton of the Bâtiments du Roi (royal building works administration). |
