| Obverse description | A detail from Eugène Delacroix's celebrated 1830 painting depicts the allegorical figure of Liberty striding forward, holding the tricolor flag aloft in her right hand and a rifle in her left. The figure is rendered in high relief against a plain field, faithfully reproducing the dynamic, Romantic composition of the original canvas. The inscription 'LA LIBERTÉ GUIDANT LE PEUPLE' appears as a legend identifying the painting, accompanied by the national monogram 'RF' denoting the French Republic. |

Pei prominently in the foreground, with the historic Richelieu wing of the palace visible in the background. The commemorative legend 'BICENTENAIRE DU MUSÉE DU LOUVRE' arcs above the central design, with the date '1993' and the denomination '100F' inscribed below the architectural motif. The design celebrates the bicentennial of the Louvre as a public museum, inaugurated in 1793. |
