| Reverse description | The reverse bears a close-up portrait of the Mona Lisa (La Joconde) by Leonardo da Vinci, rendered in high relief at the centre of the coin, faithfully reproducing the masterwork's characteristic sfumato treatment and enigmatic expression. The ornate picture frame surrounding the portrait is visible in the background, with the inscription LA JOCONDE identifying the work and LEONARD DE VINCI crediting the artist. At the upper left, the legend 500 ANS commemorates the 500th anniversary of Leonardo da Vinci's death in 2019, while the cartouche CHEFS D'ŒUVRE DES MUSÉES appears to the right, identifying the coin's series. The date 2019 is also present in the field. |
