| Beschrijving voorzijde | The centre field bears a right-facing portrait effigy of Simone Veil, with her deportation registration number 78651 inscribed on her collar in reference to her internment at Auschwitz-Birkenau. The background of the inner disc features an architectural rendering of the European Parliament building, evoking her historic role as its first elected President from 1979 to 1982. The legend SIMONE VEIL, the dates 1927–2017, the year 1975 commemorating the eponymous abortion decriminalisation law, the country identifier RF, and the issue year 2018, along with the mint marks, are inscribed across the inner disc. The engraver's signature of Joaquin Jimenez appears in the field. The outer ring carries the twelve stars of the European flag in the standard common reverse ring design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Simone Veil was elected to the Académie française in 2008, but it is her 1975 legislation — passed through a hostile, predominantly male National Assembly in a speech she later described as the most grueling of her life — that defines her public memory. The law legalizing abortion in France bore her name from the start, though it was not formally titled the "loi Veil" in official statute until decades later.
She died in June 2017, and her entry into the Panthéon the following year — alongside her husband Antoine — was only the fifth time a woman had received that honor.
