| Reverse description | A classically robed female figure, identified as Eirene (Peace), stands facing half-right upon a quay, extending an olive branch in her right hand and cradling a heavily laden cornucopia under her left arm, its abundant fruit and produce spilling to the ground at her feet. To her left stands a barrel inscribed TO FRANCE alongside a bale of goods, while in the background three full-rigged sailing ships are depicted at sea; a double exergue below the ground line features two crossed ears of corn. |
