| Obverse description | The obverse is divided diagonally into two contrasting fields, with the upper half depicting a draped female bust in left profile — an allegorical figure reminiscent of Marianne — set against a background of coniferous trees, alongside a detailed rendering of a 19th-century steam locomotive in motion; to the right, a mounted horseman silhouette evokes the Siberian steppe. The monogram 'RF' (République Française) appears in the upper right field. The lower portion of the coin is divided into a polished lighter field to the left and a matte field to the right, bearing a schematic map of the Trans-Siberian Railway route with the inscriptions 'PARIS' at left and 'VLADIVOSTOK' at right, and the legend 'LE TRANSSIBÉRIEN' prominently displayed across the lower field. |
