| 裏面の説明 | A highly stylized portrait of engineer Gustave Eiffel occupies the left and central portions of the field, rendered in a striking geometric, polygonal mesh technique that evokes the triangulated iron framework of his architectural works. Behind and overlapping the portrait, the structural latticework of the Eiffel Tower rises diagonally across the right side of the field, providing a dramatic architectural backdrop in deeply struck relief. The legend 'GUSTAVE EIFFEL 1832 - 1923' arcs along the lower left in incuse lettering. The commemorative year '2023' appears in the lower right quadrant in a decorative dot-matrix style. The composition commemorates the centenary of Eiffel's death and is attributed to engraver Joaquin Jimenez. |

This piece belongs to the long-running French "Grands Hommes" series, which Monnaie de Paris has used to rehabilitate figures whose reputations outlasted their controversies. Eiffel himself is the better example of that dynamic: when the tower bearing his name opened in 1889 as the entrance arch for the Exposition Universelle, it was almost universally despised by the Parisian artistic establishment. The petition against it ran to three hundred signatories, including Maupassant and Zola.
Eiffel's later conviction in the Panama Canal bribery scandal — though ultimately overturned — had effectively ended his engineering career by 1893.
