| Obverse description | The obverse depicts La Grande Hermine, Jacques Cartier's celebrated flagship, rendered in detailed relief as though set within the graduated arc of a mariner's compass. The vessel is shown in full sail, its rigging and hull finely detailed, symbolizing the age of exploration. The compass motif frames the ship, with cardinal points and degree markings visible around the periphery. The legend 'LA GRANDE HERMINE' arcs above the central design, while '500 EURO' and the 'RF' (République Française) monogram appear in the field below. |
