| Reverse description | A richly detailed allegorical scene depicting the return of Napoleon I's ashes to Les Invalides. In the center, a draped female figure representing France holds a laurel branch while receiving the procession; to her left, a youthful figure leans against a shield bearing the imperial 'N'. To the right, mourning dignitaries surround a catafalque or altar. In the upper field, an eagle or angel radiates light from a sunburst glory. The dome of Les Invalides is visible at the upper left, and the frigate Belle-Poule appears in the distance at the upper right. The engraver's signature appears in the exergue. |
