| 表面の説明 | Within a hexagonal frame, three horizontal graphic friezes render the French tricolor flag in its heraldic form, each frieze evoking one of the three historical eras referenced in the coin's trilogy series. The face value and the Republican initials "RF" appear prominently in the field, accompanied by hallmark punches. The overall design blends contemporary geometric abstraction with heraldic symbolism, presenting a distinctly modern aesthetic within a structured, symmetrical composition. |

| 裏面の説明 | A contemporary reinterpretation of the historic Franc à cheval gold coin originally struck in December 1360 under King Jean II 'le Bon'. The central motif depicts the sovereign on horseback, armored and charging into battle, recalling the coin's historical association with the king's liberation following his capture by the English during the Hundred Years' War — the term 'Franc' signifying 'Free'. Flanking the equestrian figure are modernized quatrefoil devices derived from the original medieval reverse design, interspersed with vegetal crosses that evoke the emerging Gothic decorative style of 14th-century France. The national motto and the date of issue are inscribed in the legend. |

The franc à cheval was first struck in 1360 under Jean II of France, issued specifically to fund his ransom following capture at the Battle of Poitiers in 1356 — the coin's name derived from the equestrian image, and its fine gold content was carefully calibrated to satisfy the English demands. This 2025 Monnaie de Paris restrike is part of a long-running series revisiting landmark French coin types, none more historically loaded than this one.
The original 1360 issue was among the first French gold coins to circulate widely enough to anchor international trade pricing across Flemish and Italian markets.
