A colorized French tricolor flag appears to the upper left and a colorized blue cornflower to the upper right, while a colorized tricolor flame rising from a memorial brazier occupies the lower center. Surrounding the central design is a ring of nineteen small medallions depicting the national symbols of the Eurozone member states, all set against a dark polished field with a beaded border. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays an outline map of the 28 member states of the European Union occupying the left and central field, set against a mirror-polished background. To the right, twelve vertical flag staffs each topped with a five-pointed star are arranged in a column, evoking the EU flag motif, with a small vignette of a hand casting a ballot into a box visible in the lower right area. The legend 'L'EUROPE DES XXVIII' curves along the upper rim, with the word 'essai' inscribed in the lower field and the date '2016' in the exergue, all within a beaded border. |
