| Obverse description | The obverse features a stylized architectural cross-section or schematic outline of the Dome of Les Invalides rendered in high relief against a deeply mirror-polished proof field, evoking the building's distinctive Baroque silhouette with its drum, lantern, and flanking wings. The monogram 'RF' (République Française) appears prominently to the lower left, with the date '2006' directly beneath it, while the denomination '1 1/2 EURO' is inscribed to the lower right. The French national motto 'LIBERTÉ ÉGALITÉ FRATERNITÉ' curves along the upper periphery, and the series inscription 'LES MONUMENTS DE FRANCE' arcs along the lower rim. The design employs a modernist graphic style, contrasting bold outline forms with finely engraved architectural detail in the central motif. |
