| Obverse description | Map of Europe occupies the central field, overlaid with a continuous repeating text pattern of the French republican motto words Liberté, Egalité, and Fraternité in varying sizes, evoking a typographic background. The bold monogram RF (République Française) is superimposed at center over the map. Twelve five-pointed stars, symbolizing the European Union, border the design around the rim. The date 2001 appears at the top between the stars, and the denomination 655,957 FRANCS is inscribed in large numerals at the bottom, accompanied by the Monnaie de Paris mintmark. |

| Reverse description | The word LIBERTÉ is rendered in bold, stylized block lettering arranged across the left and lower portions of the field, split across two lines as LI / BER / TÉ in a strong graphic design. To the right and upper portions of the field, a dense, interlocking pattern of stylized doves in flight fills the remaining space, their abstracted forms merging seamlessly with one another in a modern decorative style. The overall composition presents a powerful visual allegory of freedom, with the word and the symbol of peace unified in a single artistic design. |
