| Reverse description | The reverse displays a rich medieval-inspired design featuring a lozenge trellis pattern with alternating fleurs-de-lis and stylized castle towers in high relief, evoking the royal heraldry of France. The central field is enclosed by a broad border of interlaced Gothic foliage reminiscent of stained glass tracery or medieval illuminated manuscripts. The reverse is anepigraphic. |
