| Obverse description | The obverse presents a richly detailed architectural composition juxtaposing two iconic Parisian landmarks. On the left, the hemicycle of the Assemblée Nationale (Palais Bourbon) is depicted in perspective, showing its tiered semicircular seating arrangement and tall windows. On the right, the neoclassical façade of the Palais Bourbon is rendered with its colonnade and sculpted frieze bearing the inscription ASSEMBLÉE NATIONALE. At the centre, a monumental ornamental candelabra from the Place de la Concorde rises prominently, linking both architectural scenes. The legend RÉPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE appears in the left field in mirrored relief, a deliberate artistic device reflecting the coin's reverse map design. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is divided into two distinct halves. The left half bears the UNESCO temple emblem above the large denomination numeral '5' and the word 'EURO', with the date '2017' below, accompanied by the curved inscription 'Paris, rives de la Seine' and the cornucopia and die mintmarks of the Monnaie de Paris. The right half displays a detailed cartographic aerial map of central Paris showing the street layout surrounding the Place de la Concorde and the Palais Bourbon. The legends PLACE DE LA CONCORDE and PALAIS BOURBON are inscribed along the right margin of the field in a vertical arrangement. |
