| Obverse description | Allegorical female effigy of the French Republic facing left, wearing a winged Phrygian cap adorned with the French tricolor. Two cargo ships are depicted in the background field, evoking maritime commerce. The legend encircles the design, with the date and engraver's signature L.BAZOR and the mark GB incorporated into the inscription. The word ESSAI identifies this piece as a pattern strike. The overall composition is rendered in the classical Republican tradition of the Monnaie de Paris. |
