| Reverse description | The reverse reproduces the design of the historical medal struck to commemorate the construction of the Eiffel Tower, originally designated as the 'Tour de 300 mètres,' during the Exposition Universelle of 1889 held at the Champ de Mars in Paris. A detailed depiction of the Eiffel Tower dominates the central field, rendered in a style faithful to the original 19th-century medal. The legend 'EXPOSITION UNIVERSELLE 1889' arcs along the upper portion of the coin, while 'TOUR DE 300 METRES AU CHAMP DE MARS' is inscribed in the lower field. The design pays tribute to Gustave Eiffel's iconic iron lattice structure, which served as the entrance arch to the 1889 World's Fair. |
