| Obverse description | The obverse reproduces Yves Klein's celebrated Monogold (MGB) artwork, rendered across the entire field in high relief as a textured, crinkled gold-leaf surface evoking the artist's monochrome gold paintings. The intricate, irregular pattern of folded and creased gold leaf fills the field from rim to rim, referencing Klein's iconic materiality. The abbreviation 'RF' (République Française) appears in small letters at the upper centre, while the denomination '500 Euro' is inscribed in raised letters along the lower portion of the field. |
