| Obverse description | The obverse features an artistic collage of architectural details drawn from five renowned Parisian cultural institutions: the Musée d'Orsay, the Louvre, the Musée Picasso, the Musée Rodin, and the Centre Pompidou. The legend RÉPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE appears alongside the denomination 200 EURO, rendered in Latin script. The composition integrates the museum facades in a stylized, layered manner characteristic of the Monnaie de Paris 'Chefs d'Œuvre des Musées' commemorative series. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a bold artistic reinterpretation of Hokusai's iconic woodblock print 'The Great Wave off Kanagawa,' with the coin's rectangular format forming an integral element of the overall composition. The interior of the Grand Palais nave serves as the background, its vaulted iron-and-glass architecture blending seamlessly with the wave motif. The series stamp 'CHEFS D'ŒUVRE DES MUSÉES' is inscribed at the top, harmoniously integrated with the dome of the Grand Palais. The inscriptions LA VAGUE D'HOKUSAI and the artist's name complement the decorative field, with the year 2020 positioned in the upper right. |
