| Obverse description | The allegorical figure of La Semeuse (the Sower) strides to the left in flowing robes, scattering seeds with her outstretched right hand against a stylized background evoking the design of the euro banknote, featuring horizontal lines to the left and vertical lines to the right. Twelve five-pointed stars border the outer ring, referencing the European Union. The monogram 'RF' (République Française) appears in the central field, flanked by the split date '20' to the left and '17' to the right. The design is rendered in high relief in proof finish, combining classical French republican imagery with a modern euro aesthetic. |
