| Obverse description | A cartographic outline of metropolitan France occupies the central field, rendered in relief against a plain background. The names of all French administrative regions are inscribed in the surrounding legend, arranged radially to encircle the map. The national initials 'RF' (République Française) appear prominently within the design. The overall composition presents a clean, modern style characteristic of Monnaie de Paris commemorative issues of the period. |

| Additional information |
The 2011 "Régions de France" series was part of a broader Monnaie de Paris program mapping French administrative identity onto bullion-adjacent commemoratives — a format the mint leaned on heavily during the post-2008 period when collector demand for small-denomination gold was climbing. Each piece in the series corresponded to one of metropolitan France's twenty-two administrative regions as defined under the 1982 Defferre decentralization laws, which had transferred significant governing authority away from Paris for the first time under the Fifth Republic.
