| Beschrijving keerzijde | Allegorical composition commemorating the bicentenary of the French Revolution, depicting a stone altar or table set beneath a large spreading oak tree, upon which rest a quill pen, an ink pot, and a scroll of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen. To the lower left, a stone tablet inscribed DROITS DE L'HOMME leans against the altar, and a rising sun radiates in the background field. A triangular symbol appears at the base of the altar in the exergue area. The dates 1789 and 1989 flank the Monnaie de Paris mintmark along the lower rim. The multi-layered composition is attributed to Jean-Baptiste-Daniel Dupuis and executed in crisp matte relief. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This piece belongs to a series commissioned ahead of the 1989 bicentennial of the French Revolution — one of the most elaborately planned commemorative programs in the history of the Monnaie de Paris. The 1985 date marks it as an early project issue, struck four years before the anniversary itself, likely as a prototype or presentation strike to establish the design direction for the full program that followed.
The .925 fineness is notable — finer than the .900 silver standard that dominated French commemorative coinage through much of the twentieth century.
