| Reverse description | Central design depicts a detailed and dramatically rendered artistic reconstruction of the ancient Pharos of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, shown as a towering multi-tiered lighthouse with gilded highlights applied to the structure to create a striking contrast against the silver field. The lighthouse is rendered in high relief with fine architectural detail, evoking the monument's legendary grandeur. The upper arc bears the legend MERVEILLES DU MONDE DE L'ANTIQUITE separated by star ornaments, while the lower arc carries the inscription PHARE DE ALEXANDRIE, also separated by star ornaments. The date 2010 appears in the field to the right of the lighthouse. |
