| Obverse description | Full-length frontal effigy of Hugh Capet, founder of the Capetian dynasty, depicted in medieval royal robes and wearing a crown, his right hand raised in a gesture of benediction and his left hand resting at his side. The figure stands against a field decorated with a regular pattern of small fleurette or cross ornaments, evoking medieval manuscript illumination. The commemorative legend MILLENAIRE CAPETIEN arcs across the upper field, with the dual dates 987 and 1987 flanking the base of the figure at lower left and lower right respectively, marking the millennial anniversary of the Capetian dynasty. |
