| Obverse description | High-relief allegorical composition depicting a winged female figure, symbolising France or Victory, standing atop a rocky outcrop amid a war-torn landscape with a burning town in the background; she supports a semi-nude male warrior who raises a sabre aloft, with a laurel branch at her feet. The legend arcs around the upper border, with the mottoes HONNEUR and PATRIE flanking the central group in the field. Engravers' and founder's signatures appear in the lower field. |
