Avers

The inside half of the obverse of the coin hemisphere shows Louvre palace, former royal palace. The Pavillon Richelieu is located between the Colbert wing and the Turgot wing. This leads to the Library Pavilion of the Library, thus opening onto Rue de Rivoli and Place du Palais-Royal. It is in front of the Pyramid. The roof is adorned with a huge triangular pediment supported by eight caryatids. We also discover the glass pyramid of the Louvre designed by Sino-American architect Ieoh Ming Pei, achieved in 1989. The pyramid is highlighted with a rhodium deposit embossed on the silver coins. The words «République française» in the middle can be read if the coin is tilted 180°. The Pont des arts occupies the second half of the coin.

Revers
