| Obverse description | An architectural elevation drawing of the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris is rendered across the entire field, depicting the building's distinctive high-tech facade with its exposed structural framework, external pipe networks, and diagonal bracing elements as conceived by architects Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers. The design is presented in the manner of a technical blueprint or architectural plan, with fine incised lines conveying the structural grid and mechanical systems characteristic of the building. The legend 'RF' and 'Centre Georges Pompidou 2010' appear within the composition, identifying the issuer and subject. The overall treatment showcases the building's revolutionary inside-out architectural philosophy in meticulous relief. |
