| Obverse description | Central field features a highly detailed relief depiction of the three-masted barque 'Pourquoi Pas ?', the famous polar exploration vessel commanded by Jean-Baptiste Charcot, shown in icy waters with a small rowing boat in the foreground and icebergs at the base. Behind the ship, a navigational compass rose with degree markings radiates across the field, evoking the spirit of polar exploration. The monogram 'RF' (République Française) appears to the upper left, flanked by the degree notation '105' and '90°'. The legend 'POURQUOI PAS ?' arcs across the upper portion of the field. The entire design is framed by a rope-twist border. |
