| Obverse description | The obverse presents a bold contemporary design featuring a central medallion with the allegorical effigy of Marianne, depicted facing slightly left with flowing hair adorned with five-pointed stars, evoking the European flag. The central motif is set within a circular frame overlaid on a large stylised cross dividing the field into alternating polished and matte black quadrants, creating a striking geometric contrast characteristic of the Europa Star programme aesthetic. The mint mark and date 2016 appear in small characters at the lower left of the central circle. The circular legend EUROPE CONTEMPORAINE REPUBLIQUE FRANCAISE runs along the outer border, with an ornamental euro star symbol rendered at the base of the design. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a divided composition referencing two icons of French cultural influence: on one half, a stylised architectural rendering of the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, depicted with its distinctive exposed structural framework; on the other half, a portrait or evocative representation honouring couturier Yves Saint Laurent, whose 80th birth anniversary fell in 2016. The denomination 200 EURO is prominently inscribed in the field, along with the legends CENTRE POMPIDOU and Yves Saint Laurent, the latter rendered in a signature-style script. The overall design reflects the contemporary artistic direction of the Europa Star series, combining architectural and cultural heritage motifs within a geometrically structured layout. |
