| Obverse description | Left-facing draped bust of Marianne wearing a winged Phrygian cap, engraved in the style of Lucien Georges Bazor. Four sailing ships appear in the background field, evoking maritime trade and colonial symbolism. The legend encircles the effigy, with the engraver's signature L.BAZOR and the initials G.B. inscribed in the field. The word ESSAI and the date 1948 confirm the trial strike status of this piefort issue. |
