| Obverse description | The field features four symbolic medallions arranged around a central outline map of metropolitan France bearing the Cross of Lorraine: at top, the Legion of Honor medal with its ribbon; at left, an open book referencing de Gaulle's role as author; at right, a vintage BBC-style microphone evoking his Resistance broadcasts. The Arc de Triomphe is depicted in relief at the lower center, flanked by laurel sprays, with the birth and death years 1890 and 1970 in the exergue area. |
