| Obverse description | The field features a high-relief scene after Auguste Couder's 1839 painting depicting the opening of the Estates General at the Hôtel des Menus Plaisirs in Versailles, showing assembled deputies of the three orders — nobility, clergy, and third estate — in a grand hall. The legend curves along the upper rim, with the date 1789 in the lower exergue, flanked by two floral ornaments. |
