| Obverse description | Entirely plain convex field of matte gold finish, devoid of any figurative design, presenting a minimalist aesthetic conceived by designer Philippe Starck. Positioned in the lower portion of the field, the incuse legend UN ULTIME FRANC is rendered in a modern lowercase italic typeface, partially running off the right rim. The stark simplicity of the design reflects a deliberate artistic statement commemorating the final year of the French franc before the introduction of the euro. |
