| Obverse description | The obverse features the iconic La Semeuse (The Sower), a full-length figure of Marianne striding forward to the right, sowing seeds against a stylized background referencing the euro banknote design, with horizontal lines to the left and vertical lines to the right. Twelve five-pointed stars encircle the design along the rim, referencing the European Union. The monogram 'RF' (République Française) appears in the lower right field, flanking the figure, while the date '2004' is split across the lower left and right of the central motif. |

| Additional information |
The "1½ euro" denomination was a short-lived French experiment, introduced in 2003 and running only a few years, specifically calibrated to equal ten French francs at the official conversion rate — a deliberate nod to franc-nostalgic buyers in the early euro period. The Monnaie de Paris leaned heavily on this sentimental calculation as a sales hook for its collector series.
These were never intended for circulation.
