| Obverse description | A stylized geometric map of metropolitan France occupies the central field, rendered as an abstract composition of interlocking rectangular and triangular blocks bearing the monogram 'RF' (République Française), accompanied by the denomination '5 EURO' in bold numerals below. The names of all French metropolitan regions are inscribed around the map in their approximate geographic positions, serving as a cartographic legend. The background is filled with concentric circular patterns evoking topographic contour lines, giving the design a dynamic, modern aesthetic. Floral motifs — likely stylized fleurs-de-lis or regional emblems — are scattered at intervals around the field. The overall composition reflects a contemporary graphic design approach celebrating the diversity of French regions. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features the Eiffel Tower prominently in the center of the field, symbolizing the Île-de-France region. To the right stands a majestic stag, a traditional heraldic emblem, flanked by three fleurs-de-lis arranged decoratively around it. To the left appears a left-facing profile effigy of Louis XIV, the Sun King, with his name inscribed within the flowing hair of his portrait. Below the royal portrait, an ornamental motif derived from the gilded ironwork gates of the Palace of Versailles is depicted, evoking the grandeur of the Ancien Régime. The legends 'ÎLE DE FRANCE', 'LOUIS XIV', the date '2026', and 'METROPOLITAIN' appear in the field. |
