| Obverse description | The obverse depicts a dynamic battle scene commemorating the Liberation of Paris in August 1944. In the foreground, three French soldiers in combat gear advance in action poses, armed with rifles; one crouches firing from cover while two others stand and advance. Behind them, a Sherman tank occupies the middle ground, its gun barrel pointing left. In the upper right, the facade of Notre-Dame de Paris is rendered in fine detail, evoking the iconic Parisian backdrop of the liberation. The legend LIBERATION DE PARIS arcs along the upper rim, the denomination 100F appears at the bottom, the RF monogram and date 1994 are to the lower right, and the engraver's name ROMILLY appears in the field to the right of the tank. |
