| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse bears a boldly stylized bust of the Gallic Rooster, rendered in a contemporary artistic manner with finely detailed crest and plumage worked through contrasting surface treatments and textures. The tricolor French flag is evoked in the background through traditional heraldic line-engraving conventions: horizontal lines representing blue, a plain flat surface for white, and vertical lines for red, recalling the treatment used on the 10, 20, and 50 euro cent coins. The national motto 'LIBERTÉ ÉGALITÉ FRATERNITÉ' arcs across the design in Latin script, with the date '2014' also inscribed. The composition presents a dynamic fusion of republican iconography and modern die-engraving technique. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The "Coq Gaulois" series from Monnaie de Paris revived one of France's oldest numismatic traditions — the rooster as national emblem dates to a Latin pun exploited by France's enemies and eventually reclaimed as a point of pride. This particular 20g issue sits at the top of the denomination ladder for the annual gold bullion program, making it a low-mintage prestige piece rather than a circulation-oriented strike.
Monnaie de Paris holds the distinction of being the world's oldest continuously operating mint, with documented production traceable to 864 AD under the Edict of Pîtres.
