Hello,
I suggest we merge this 2 pages in 1:
5 Francs - Blue (type 1905) - France – Numista
5 Francs - Blue (type 1905, inverted lion) - France – Numista
The difference is the orientation of the Leo zodiac symbol:
Normal note:

Inverted lion note:

All the rest is the same…
Always look on the bright side of life!

Makes sense. Looks like someone got carried away translation French to English (Leo → Lion). It might be worth checking the other zodiac signs.

Not sure I got what you mean, it should be Leo right?

I was refering to the title of the second note “inverted lion”. I seem to recall seeinng libra translated as “scales” on another note.
