The reverse side retains its magnificent, large original red wax seal, which remains intact. It features the official allegory of the French Republic (Liberty standing, holding her fasces and spear) surrounded by the circular motto of the republican military authority. An archival item of great historical value for collectors of the First Empire and the Italian Campaign.
