| Obverse description | A detailed relief rendering of Georges-Pierre Seurat's painting 'Le Cirque' fills the entire field, depicting a circus horse mid-leap guided by a ringmaster in the foreground, with acrobats, performers, and spectators arranged in the background. The composition closely follows the pointillist original, translated into sculpted low relief across the gilt surface. No legend or inscription appears on the obverse. |
