| Reverse description | The reverse presents an elaborate high-relief composition evoking the grand nave of the Musée d'Orsay, with the museum's characteristic iron-and-glass grid vault rendered in the background field. At centre, a large ornate circular frame — reminiscent of the museum's iconic clock face surround — encloses a dramatic scene featuring a prominent male portrait bust in the foreground, accompanied by a bear sculpture at his side, a standing male figurine playing a flute at left, and a bronze ballerina statue at right, all alluding to works in the museum's collection. The circular frame is flanked by monumental ornamental candelabra with figural mounts in the Neo-Renaissance style. A foliate cartouche at the base of the composition contains the date 2026. The overall design is executed in exceptional multi-plane high relief, showcasing the depth and intricacy of the Monnaie de Paris's craftsmanship. |
