Obverse description Joint portrait vignette of Pierre and Marie Curie at centre, rendered in intaglio. To their left, a glass bulb containing radium salts is illustrated, self-luminous in its phosphorescence; superimposed graphical probability curves from Marie Curie's research on the effects of X-rays on bacilli appear in red underprint. At upper left, a vignette of 'les petites Curie' — the mobile radiological vehicles deployed by Marie Curie during World War I — is visible within the watermark zone, while a small tactile triangle for the visually impaired appears above four circular motifs symbolising the subatomic world.
