| Reverse description | The reverse presents a bold, stylized rendition of the grand staircase of the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès in Cannes, rendered in a stepped geometric pattern that fills the left and lower portions of the field. The denomination '20 EURO' is prominently inscribed in the upper field, with the date '2007' positioned to the right of center. The French Republican motto 'LIBERTÉ ÉGALITÉ FRATERNITÉ' is distributed in three separate inscriptions across the stepped design, each word appearing on a successive tread of the staircase. |

The Monnaie de Paris has issued commemorative pieces tied to Cannes since the early 2000s, typically released annually to coincide with the festival held each May. The 2007 edition marks the 60th anniversary of the festival's founding — the first edition having taken place in 1946 after the original 1939 event was cancelled when France mobilized for war.
