| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a dynamic typographic composition featuring verses from Apollinaire's poem, rendered in varying letter sizes and orientations across the field, evoking the poet's pioneering calligramme style. In the left portion of the field, a classical allegorical female figure is depicted in motion, set against an architectural background referencing a Parisian bridge over the Seine. The word LA POÉSIE arcs prominently along the upper right rim, while the date 2018 appears in the exergue. The interplay of text and image across the mirrored and frosted surfaces reflects the typographical innovations of Apollinaire's avant-garde poetry. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued as part of the Monnaie de Paris's ongoing "Grands Hommes" commemorative program, this coin marks the centenary of Apollinaire's death on November 9, 1918 — just two days before the Armistice. He died from the Spanish flu, his resistance weakened by a shrapnel wound to the head sustained at the front in 1916. That wound had required trepanation and left him chronically ill for the remaining two years of his life.
His 1918 play *Les Mamelles de Tirésias* coined the word "surréalisme," a term later claimed entirely by Breton's movement.
