| Obverse description | The obverse depicts Nana, the titular courtesan of Émile Zola's novel, rendered in a figure-hugging dress and posed in the foreground. Behind her, a group of elegantly attired gentlemen wearing top hats observe the horse races, evoking the fashionable social milieu of the Second Empire. The composition captures the literary scene with a detailed, illustrative style characteristic of the French commemorative series. The inscription 'NANA' appears prominently in the field, accompanied by the national indicator 'RF' (République Française). |
