| Obverse description | Reproduction of the 1498 cadière of Anne de Bretagne, struck in gold-plated silver in the manner of the original medieval gold coin. The obverse bears a central design consistent with the period coinage of Anne, Duchess of Brittany and Queen of France, surrounded by a Latin legend identifying her as queen and duchess. The inscriptions include her name and titles in the characteristic Gothic numismatic style of late 15th-century French royal coinage, with the devotional phrase SIT NOMEN DOMINI BENEDICTUM appearing in the field or legend. The overall composition faithfully evokes the artistic conventions of the original late medieval prototype. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a composite heraldic composition featuring three overlapping shields charged with fleurs-de-lis, representing the royal arms of France, set against a radiating background. At the center, a Gallic rooster is depicted within a circular frame, standing in profile to the left. A royal crown surmounts the heraldic arrangement at the top of the field. The composition is framed at the base by a laurel wreath, with the circular legend reading '2000 ANS D'HISTOIRE MONÉTAIRE FRANÇAISE' around the periphery, separated by decorative stops. |
