| Obverse description | Detailed architectural rendering of the Musée d'Orsay's grand interior, dominated by its celebrated vaulted iron-and-glass roof structure depicted in fine engraved lines radiating across the upper field. At centre, the iconic ornate clock face of the Orsay is rendered in relief, flanked by decorative ironwork scrolls and arched colonnades. The lower portion of the field features a mirror-like reflection of the architectural composition, giving a symmetrical and monumental effect. The legend REPUBLIQUE FRANCAISE curves along the lower rim, partially reflected in the design, rendered in Latin characters. The overall composition is executed in a meticulous intaglio style consistent with the Monnaie de Paris's finest proof craftsmanship. |
