Reverse description The central field features two heraldic shields — one bearing a sailing ship and fleurs-de-lis, the other a rooster above fleurs-de-lis — flanked by olive branches, with the date 1896 below and an empty cartouche at the bottom for personalization. The circular legend naming the organization runs around the upper periphery, with 'Ve CONCOURS NATIONAL DE TIR' inscribed in the upper central field, and the engraver's initials 'H.D.' in the lower exergue.
