| Reverse description | Central design featuring a large nine-pointed interlaced star rendered in bold relief, with fine radiating sunbeams emanating from each point and filling the interstices between the star's arms. At the geometric center, a small sunburst medallion bears a facing human visage, likely representing the Sun or an allegorical solar deity. The field between the star arms is richly textured with the radiating lines, creating a striking visual effect. The border is defined by a continuous milled or beaded rim consistent with the obverse. No inscriptions or legends appear on the reverse, giving it a purely symbolic and decorative character typical of experimental essai coinage of the Directoire period. |
