| Obverse description | The central device depicts the Pont d'Avignon (Saint-Bénézet bridge) spanning a river, with a small chapel visible at the end of the bridge and a hillside in the background. Above the bridge, two hands reach toward each other in a gesture reminiscent of Michelangelo's Creation of Adam. The legend 'LE PONT D'AVIGNON' arcs along the upper rim, and a secondary inscription in the field references the 'Exposition PONTS du 4 décembre 2010 au 30 juin 2011'. |
