| Obverse description | The obverse presents a dramatic architectural composition dominated by the glass pyramid of the Louvre in the foreground, rendered with precise geometric detail in highly polished relief. Behind and to the right, the classical Richelieu wing of the Musée du Louvre is depicted with finely engraved Baroque façade detailing. Spanning the upper portion of the field, a large steel lattice structure — evoking a bridge or construction framework — creates a bold diagonal across the design. The national legend RÉPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE appears incuse within the lattice framework at the top of the coin, integrated into the architectural scene. The overall composition is executed in a sophisticated illustrative style, blending modern and historic Parisian landmarks in a single cohesive panoramic view. |
