Sénat conservateur, France.

On the obverse is apparently Minerva, her left arm leans upon a shield with the inscription CONSTITUTION FRANÇAISE AN XIII. Peering from behind her is a rooster, a symbol of France. On the reverse is a mirror, entwined around it is a serpent. Perhaps this is a double warning to politicians, French Consulate era Senators in particular.
