| Obverse description | The obverse is executed in intaglio and presents an allegorical seated female figure to the left — likely a personification of France — holding a sword and shield and facing right, while to the right an Asian couple stands before a harbour vignette with sailing vessels. The central panel carries the issuing authority, applicable legislative decrees, and the denomination in French, with printed attributions to the designer and engraver. Decorative guilloche borders frame the composition, and the numeral "20" appears in each corner. |
