| Obverse description | The nickel-brass clad nickel center depicts a stylized effigy of Marianne in left-facing profile, her features rendered in a bold, contemporary linear style evoking the allegorical figure of Liberty. To the right of the bust, a fan-shaped motif with horizontal ribbing suggests the tricolor cockade, while the monogram 'RF' (République Française) appears prominently in the field. Along the left field, an excerpt from Paul Éluard's poem 'Liberté' is inscribed in diagonal lettering: 'Sur toutes les pages lues / Sur toutes les pages blanches / Pierre sang papier ou cendre / J'écris ton nom.' The date '2015' is incused below the portrait, and the word 'Liberté' appears in a flowing cursive script at the base of the center disk. The outer copper-nickel ring features the twelve stars of the European Union. |

| Reverse description | The standard eurozone reverse design by Luc Luycx occupies the nickel-brass clad nickel center, featuring the large numeral '2' in relief to the left, alongside a map of the European Union rendered in stippled relief to the right. The denomination legend 'EURO' is inscribed horizontally across the map. Six lines radiating from the center divide the field, and the designer's initials 'LL' appear discreetly in the lower right of the central disk. The outer copper-nickel ring bears the twelve stars of the European Union evenly spaced around the circumference. |
