| Obverse description | The obverse depicts two racing cars positioned within a stylized 24-hour chronometer dial, evoking the continuous cycle of the famous endurance race. A selective reverse-polished finish divides the field to contrast the transition between day and night conditions on the circuit. The headlights of the nocturnal vehicle illuminate the numeral '100,' commemorating the centenary of the 24 Heures du Mans. Hour markers and the chronometer surround the central racing scene, reinforcing the endurance theme. The legends '24h Le Mans 100,' date references '18 6 12,' and the Republican monogram 'RF' appear within the design. |

The 24 Hours of Le Mans celebrated its centenary in 2023, marking one hundred years since the first running of the endurance race in June 1923. The Monnaie de Paris issued this piece as part of a broader commemorative program tied to that anniversary, which also coincided with a Ferrari overall victory — the Italian manufacturer's first outright win at the circuit since 1965.
