OB: "LA SAGESSE GUIDE SA FORCE" [WISDOM GUIDES ITS STRENGTH] Hercules breaking the royal scepter, a broken crown at his feet; two lines in exergue: "LA FIN DU / DESPOTISME" [THE END OF / DESPOTISM]
Rx : REVOLUTION FRANÇAISE - 1792 below, legend in six lines : MEDAILLE / QUI SE VEND / DEUX-SOLS / A PARIS CHEZ / MONNERON / /PATENTÉ/

Mint struck at Soho in a regular planchet. Catalog: Mazard 162;
