Reverse description A finely detailed rendering of the Eiffel Tower dominates the central field, depicted in full elevation with its characteristic latticed ironwork structure rising from a broad base with four arched legs; the surrounding Champ-de-Mars grounds are suggested by low contoured terrain at the base. The legend LA TOUR EIFFEL arcs along the upper left periphery, with PARIS - 125 ANS continuing along the upper right, all in raised Latin characters against a mirror-polished field. The date 2014 appears in the lower exergue, commemorating the 125th anniversary of the tower's construction.
