Obverse descriptionPortrait of Gustave Eiffel in front of an arch of the tower that bears his name. The portrait has been worked so that his facial features, hair and clothes are made of rivets, as if Gustave Eiffel were part of the metal structure he imagined.
Obverse scriptLatin
Obverse letteringGUSTAVE EIFFEL 1832 - 1923 RF
Reverse descriptionThe reverse of the coin features representations of some of the architect`s major works. At its centre, the Eiffel Tower seen from above divides the design into several zones. In the space to the left, the Statue of Liberty reveals its skeleton. Above the top of the tower, one can see the Garabit viaduct. On the right is the plan of the aeroplane designed by Gustave Eiffel, the LE. Finally, below the tower is the Maria Pia de Porto bridge, which straddles the face value.
