| Obverse description | The obverse depicts a scene derived from the Bayeux Tapestry showing Norman longships (drakars) under sail, crewed by warriors crossing the English Channel, rendered in flat medieval relief style. The legend TAPISSERIE at the top arc and DE BAYEUX at the bottom arc frames the central nautical scene. The design faithfully reproduces the stylized imagery of the 11th-century tapestry. |
