| Obverse description | The obverse features a faithful engraved reproduction of Wassily Kandinsky's landmark abstract painting 'Composition VIII' (1923), rendered in high relief within a recessed rectangular panel occupying the left portion of the field. The composition depicts an intricate arrangement of geometric forms — circles, lines, triangles, and arcs — executed in the artist's characteristic Bauhaus-influenced style. To the right of the central panel, the monogram 'RF' (République Française) appears in bold relief in the upper right corner, while the facsimile signature of Kandinsky is engraved in the lower right field. Along the lower edge, the legend 'Composition VIII' appears to the left and the date '1923' to the right, referencing the year the painting was created. |
