| Obverse description | At center, a detailed evocation of the celebrated Lumière brothers' cinematograph scene depicts a steam locomotive advancing nearly head-on from the left, with a female figure identified as Madame Lumière walking along the platform to the right, accompanied by a child. The scene commemorates the first experimental film recorded for the cinematograph in 1895. A circular legend in cursive script reads L'ARRIVÉE DU TRAIN EN GARE DE LA CIOTAT around the design, with the commemorative dates 1895 - 1995 inscribed in cursive lettering at the base of the field. |
