| Obverse description | The obverse presents an elaborate Art Nouveau-inspired design in the manner of Van Cleef & Arpels, featuring three elegantly rendered hands arranged in a graceful composition across the central field, adorned with stylized gemstone motifs in various cut forms. A delicate butterfly with intricately engraved wings is depicted alighting above the hands, set against a background of fine concentric line engraving and ornate foliate scrollwork bordering the rim. Diamond-shaped and round jewel impressions are scattered throughout the field, evoking the haute joaillerie aesthetic of the maison. The national monogram RF and the date 2016 appear in the lower right field within a cartouche. |
