| Obverse description | The obverse celebrates the 30th anniversary of the Fête de la Musique, the French national music festival held annually on 21 June. The central field depicts a lively crowd scene in low relief, with three jubilant figures raising their arms amid scattered musical notes, evoking the festive atmosphere of the event. Above, a stylized script legend reads 'Fête de la MUSIQUE' accompanied by the date '21 JUIN', while the denomination '1000 EURO' appears prominently to the right in bold numerals. The arc legend '30E ANNIVERSAIRE' runs along the upper periphery in capital letters. The republican monogram 'RF' (République Française) is positioned in the lower central field. |

| Additional information |
Fête de la Musique was established by French Minister of Culture Jack Lang in 1982, turning the summer solstice into a nationwide free-concert event. This coin was issued for its 30th anniversary. At 311 grams of fine gold, it belongs to the Monnaie de Paris kilogram-series format — expensive to produce, produced in tiny quantities, and purchased almost exclusively by institutional collectors and sovereign wealth funds rather than numismatists in any traditional sense.
