Share of 500F - Paris 1879
Illustrated at the bottom of the title with stylized waves representing the ocean in which two dolphins dive.
At each corner, a piece of coastline.
On the right the arms of America: the eagle, the cannon, the groundhog and ... two barrels of whiskey.
On the left, the galley of Paris.
Falsely serious, this illustration actually reads like a comic strip.
