| Obverse description | The obverse presents two iconic Citroën DS models in profile, stacked vertically to illustrate the marque's stylistic evolution over seven decades. In the upper register, the DS 23 — the final production variant, manufactured through 1975 — is depicted with its distinctive avant-garde front fascia and pioneering pivoting directional headlamps, the latter selectively enhanced with gold coloring to evoke nocturnal road illumination. In the lower register, the original DS 19, introduced in 1955, is shown with its streamlined hood-mounted headlamps and modernist grille treatment. A selective black rhodium deposit enriches the field, creating a dramatic contrast that accentuates the illuminated headlamp detail. The inscriptions 'RF DS', '1955', and '2025' appear in the field in Latin script. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a close-up view of the rear of the Citroën DS, with compositional focus on the distinctive rear turn signal integrated into the upper edge of the rear windscreen surround. A selective deposit of red coloring highlights this signature automotive detail, drawing the eye to this emblematic design element. The denomination '20 euro', the anniversary numeral '70', and the inscription 'DS 1955' are rendered in Latin script within the field, commemorating the seventieth anniversary of the model's debut. |
