| Obverse description | Facing right bust of Jean-François Champollion occupies the left half of the field, rendered in high relief with period costume and cravat. To his right stands a tall obelisk covered in engraved hieroglyphic reliefs depicting seated deities, birds, and symbolic figures. Below the portrait, a cartouche-like panel bearing the monogram 'RF' (République Française) is flanked by additional registers of hieroglyphic script rendered in fine detail. The curved legend 'J-F CHAMPOLLION' arcs along the upper rim in bold raised letters. |
