| Reverse description | An eagle in flight facing left carries an eaglet in its talons as it soars toward a radiant sun in the upper field, the eaglet turning its head away from the sun's rays. A Latin motto legend encircles the device, serving as an allegorical emblem referencing the post-Fronde reassertion of royal authority. |
