| Obverse description | The obverse features a detailed panoramic composition of iconic Parisian architectural landmarks rendered in high relief against a mirror-like proof field. Prominent elements include the ornate façade and arched entrance of the Gare d'Orsay with its monumental clock at left, the classical colonnade and domed roof of the Louvre museum at upper right, the glazed pyramid of the Louvre in the foreground, and modern high-rise structures in the background. The legend RÉPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE appears horizontally across the lower-centre of the design, while the denomination 250 EURO is boldly displayed within a triangular motif at the right, evoking the Louvre Pyramid. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a full-colour reproduction of Salvador Dalí's celebrated 1931 Surrealist masterpiece 'The Persistence of Memory', applied within a rectangular central panel framed by a silver-toned milled border. The scene faithfully depicts the barren Catalonian coastal landscape with its warm ochre and terracotta tones, the phosphorescent sea and pale sky in the distance, a bare leafless tree, and three limp, melting pocket watches draped over a rectangular ledge, a branch, and an unidentifiable amorphous figure in the foreground, with a fly-covered orange watch lying in the lower left. The date 2021 appears at the lower left of the border, and the inscription LA PERSISTANCE DE LA MÉMOIRE DALI is engraved along the lower edge of the frame. |
