| Obverse description | Central to the obverse is a finely detailed high-relief rendition of Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, depicted as a three-quarter portrait of a seated woman with long flowing hair, a serene expression, and draped garments, faithfully reproducing the celebrated Renaissance painting. The monogram 'RF' (République Française) appears in bold letters to the left of the figure within the field. The legend 'MONA LISA' is inscribed vertically along the right side of the coin in capital letters. The overall composition fills the coin face with exceptional engraving detail, emphasizing the subject's characteristic enigmatic gaze and subtle smile against a plain polished field. |
