Surrounding him are representations of various vessels and aircraft operated by the Marine nationale. The initials 'RF' for République Française appear above the figure, while two mint marks are positioned to his left, beneath a submarine motif. The date '2026' is inscribed below the figure to the right, along with the commemorative legend '400 ANS MARINE NATIONALE' denoting the 400th anniversary of the French Navy. |

| Additional information |
Part of the Monnaie de Paris's ongoing institutional series honoring branches of the French armed forces, this issue is struck in billon at .333 fineness — a composition more associated with 19th-century subsidiary coinage than modern commemoratives. The choice reflects a deliberate tiering strategy that keeps the piece accessible without encroaching on the higher-fineness collector issues in the same program.
