| Obverse description | The obverse features a rich allegorical composition in the field referencing the life and works of Victor Hugo: a revolutionary figure with raised arm stands to the left beside a cannon and barricade debris, evoking Les Misérables, while an open book with a quill pen and a theatrical mask appear in the center-right, with the façade of Notre-Dame de Paris in the upper right. The denomination '10 FRANCS' appears prominently at the top of the field. Victor Hugo's facsimile signature is inscribed across the lower center of the field, with the date '1985' below. The legend 'RÉPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE' runs along the left and right rims respectively. |
