| Reverse description | The reverse, struck in the silver-toned copper-nickel centre set within a nickel-brass ring, depicts the twin figures of the Gemini zodiac sign as two intertwined draped figures rendered in high relief in an Art Nouveau-inspired style. The foreground figure, a young man with radiating solar rays emanating from his head, leans against a second figure, a young woman whose flowing hair cascades around both busts. The Gemini star constellation is engraved in the right field, while the upper portion of the ring displays the astrological symbols for Taurus (♉) and Gemini (♊) against a background of ornate scrollwork. The bimetallic border is richly decorated with swirling foliate motifs and additional zodiacal glyphs. |

| Additional information |
Part of the Monnaie de Paris' ongoing zodiac series, this issue covers Gemini — a program that cycles through all twelve signs across consecutive years, pairing collector appeal with an annual release calendar that keeps the series commercially active without requiring a new design concept each time. The bimetallic format was adopted for the zodiac run specifically to distinguish it from standard circulation issues and justify a collector premium.
