| Obverse description | Stylized architectural rendering of the Centre Georges Pompidou, designed by Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers, depicted in a bold, graphic composition that emphasizes the building's iconic exposed structural framework and industrial aesthetic. Radiating diagonal lines emanate from a central point across the field, evoking the building's external piping and steel skeleton in a modernist, almost technical-drawing style. Horizontal registers of architectural detail span the coin's surface, capturing the layered facade of the Beaubourg complex. The legend 'RF Centre Georges Pompidou 2010' appears within the design, identifying the issuing authority and the commemorated monument. The overall composition reflects the architects' revolutionary high-tech approach to public architecture. |
