On the reverse, the rebus gives the following quatrain: The white Republic gave birth to misery, the red Republic brought terror, Henri the Bearnais of the Franks brought happiness, and bequeathed to us in his son the model of his father. One of the most curious and ingenious medals of the 1848 revolution
