| Obverse description | Left-facing bust of a Martiniquaise woman in traditional dress, her attire rendered in fine detail consistent with the regional costume of the period. A circular legend surrounds the effigy, identifying the issuing authority and the colonial territory. The portrait is executed in a naturalistic style characteristic of late 19th-century French colonial medallic art. The field is smooth and unadorned, directing focus entirely to the central figure and the surrounding inscription. |
