| Obverse description | A hand with an extended index finger pointing downward onto an open page or map adorned with a ring of twelve five-pointed stars, symbolising the European Community. The circular legend REPUBLIQUE FRANCAISE runs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 500 F appears in large characters at the base of the field. The engraver's signature A. GAL is inscribed below the denomination. The composition is rendered in a bold, graphic relief style characteristic of late 20th-century French commemorative coinage. |
