| Obverse description | Within a hexagonal frame evoking the shape of metropolitan France, the French tricolor flag is rendered in heraldic form through three distinct temporal eras, symbolizing the continuity of the French Republic. The face value '20 €' appears prominently in the field, accompanied by the Republican monogram 'RF'. Mint privy marks and hallmark punches complete the design. |

| Additional information |
The "Napoléon" denomination has a specific resonance in French monetary history — the original 20-franc gold piece issued under the Consulate in 1803 established the franc germinal standard that anchored French coinage for over a century. This 2026 Monnaie de Paris issue invokes that lineage directly, though it is a collector piece rather than a continuation of the circulation series that ended with the Third Republic.
The 3.11g fine gold weight places it squarely in the tenth-ounce format favored by modern bullion-adjacent commemoratives.
