| Obverse description | Central design featuring a quill pen (feather) as the principal motif, symbolising the art of writing, accompanied by the face value '20 €' and the RF monogram denoting the French Republic. The field is inscribed with four celebrated literary and philosophical quotations: 'Le mieux est l'ennemi du bien' (Voltaire), 'Lasciate ogne speranza voi ch'intrate' (Dante Alighieri), 'To be or not to be: that is the question' (Shakespeare), and 'Was mich nicht umbringt, macht mich stärker' (Nietzsche). The legend 'L'art de la plume' appears as a thematic title uniting the inscriptions. |
