Obverse description The obverse depicts Harpagon, the miser protagonist of Molière's play L'Avare, rendered in a theatrical and detailed style. The figure is shown wearing a three-cornered hat and clutching a heart-shaped strongbox, symbolising his obsessive attachment to his wealth. A scattered pile of Louis d'or gold coins surrounds him in the field, reinforcing the theme of avarice. The inscription 'L'AVARE' appears in the legend, along with the 'RF' monogram denoting the French Republic.
