| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse features the iconic Semeuse (Sower) figure, adapted from Oscar Roty's celebrated design, striding boldly to the left with flowing robes and hair caught by the wind, scattering seed with her outstretched right hand. The design is set against a stylized background incorporating vertical stripes of the French tricolor flag on the right and horizontal lines on the left, evoking the composition of a banknote. Twelve five-pointed stars border the outer rim, referencing the European Union, while the monogram 'RF' (République Française) appears prominently in the central field. The date '20 15' is divided across the left and right fields, flanking the central figure. Two small mint marks appear at the base of the design below the Semeuse. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This piece belongs to Monnaie de Paris' ongoing series recreating landmark medieval French coinages, with the Franc à Cheval originally introduced by Jean II in 1360 — struck specifically to pay his ransom following capture at the Battle of Poitiers in 1356. The name derived from the mounted knight depicted on the original, and the coin's value was set at exactly one livre tournois, making it among the first French coins where the denomination and monetary unit were directly equivalent.
The .920 fineness mirrors the original medieval alloy specification closely, a deliberate choice by Monnaie de Paris for the reissue.
