| Reverse description | The hexagonal reverse presents a richly detailed composition celebrating the Grand Est region of France. To the left, a large, finely engraved bearded effigy of Clovis I, first King of the Franks, dominates the field, wearing a medieval crown adorned with a fleur-de-lis motif, with a bunch of grapes and vine leaves depicted above his shoulder. To the right, a highly detailed rendering of the Strasbourg Cathedral (Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Strasbourg) rises prominently, its Gothic spire and ornate façade executed with exceptional precision. A white stork in full stride, the emblematic bird of Alsace, stands at the base of the cathedral tower. The legend CLOVIS arcs along the lower left, GRAND EST appears diagonally across the upper field in bold lettering, and the date 2026 is inscribed along the lower edge. |

| Additional information |
Part of the Monnaie de Paris "Régions de France" series, this issue represents one of the administrative regions created by the 2015 territorial reform that merged Alsace, Champagne-Ardenne, and Lorraine — three historically distinct areas with sharply different identities, now governed from Strasbourg. The merger was contentious, particularly in Alsace, where a 2013 referendum on creating a unified Alsace collectivity had already failed before the broader national reorganization swept the question aside entirely.
