| Obverse description | The obverse features a stylized wheat stalk or grain ear rendered vertically in the center of the field, flanked by decorative elements in a minimalist design typical of the early Fifth Republic coinage. The legend REPUBLIQUE FRANCAISE curves along the upper periphery of the coin in Latin script. The overall design reflects the aesthetic direction established by the Monnaie de Paris for the new centime series, engraved after Guilleminet. The field is plain and unadorned, emphasizing the central motif. |
