| Reverse description | A three-quarter facing portrait bust of Catherine de Médicis (1519–1589), Queen of France, dominates the right portion of the field, rendered in fine engraved detail with an elaborate lace ruff collar and period-appropriate Renaissance court attire. To the left of the effigy, the dates 1519 and 1589 are inscribed in two lines, denoting her birth and death years. The circular legend CATHERINE DE MÉDICIS 2018 arcs around the upper periphery, while the specifications 0,5G .999 FINE GOLD appear in the upper left field. The design is executed in a classical miniature portrait style befitting the coin's small format. |
