| Obverse description | Within a central hexagonal frame, the French tricolor flag is depicted in heraldic form across three vertical bands, evoking three distinct temporal eras of French history. The face value '20 €' appears in the field alongside the Republican monogram 'RF' for République Française. Privy marks and hallmark punches are positioned to complete the composition. The design is rendered in a modern graphic style characteristic of contemporary French commemorative issues. |

| Reverse description | A right-facing portrait bust of Emperor Napoleon III occupies the center of the reverse, rendered in the classical profile tradition of imperial coinage. To the right of his effigy, the Napoleonic imperial coat of arms is prominently displayed, faithfully reproducing the heraldic device found on original Second Empire coinage. The legend 'LIBERTÉ ÉGALITÉ FRATERNITÉ' arcs around the design, accompanied by the date '2023' and the attribution 'D'ap. BARRE', crediting the design as being after the work of engraver Albert-Désiré Barre. The overall composition deliberately references the iconography of mid-19th century French imperial coinage. |
