| Obverse description | The inner core features the allegorical Sower, the iconic figure of French numismatics, depicted in silhouette practising pugilism — the ancient precursor to boxing — as an allusion to the antique Olympic Games. Her figure appears in the foreground against the backdrop of the Pont Neuf bridge and the Île de la Cité, a quintessential Parisian landmark rendered in fine detail. An athletic running track occupies the middle ground, with the official Paris 2024 emblem incorporated to the right. Inscriptions in the field include the date 2023, the national monogram RF, and mint marks, positioned beneath the bridge arch, along the bridge railing, and within the Seine. The outer ring bears the twelve stars of the European Union flag. |

| Reverse description | The standard European Union reverse designed by Luc Luycx features a bold numeral '2' at left in an open field representing the eastern Atlantic Ocean, with the legend EURO to its right superimposed over a stylised geographical map of Western Europe that spans both the inner core and the outer ring. The outer ring displays the twelve stars of the European Union, arranged in two groups of six above and below the map, with six vertical stripes in the inner core visually linking the upper and lower star segments. The designer's initials LL appear in the lower right of the inner core. |
