| Obverse description | A detailed relief representation of the Montagne Sainte-Victoire occupies the central field, rendered with engraved hatching to evoke the rugged limestone massif so famously depicted by Paul Cézanne. The mountain's distinctive flat-topped silhouette rises prominently toward the upper portion of the coin. The legend MONTAGNE SAINTE-VICTOIRE curves along the lower left rim in incuse Latin lettering, following the contour of the coin. |

| Reverse description | A right-facing portrait of the Post-Impressionist painter Paul Cézanne is depicted in the left field, rendered in moderate relief with fine detail. To the right of the portrait, the ECU symbol (€CU) appears prominently in the field, encircled by a ring of twelve five-pointed stars referencing the European Community. Cézanne's facsimile signature, P.Cézanne, appears below the portrait. The surrounding legend records the dates and place of issue, along with the engraver's name G. BUQUOY at the base. |
