OBVERSE

The obverse of these non-colorized coins features the fresco by Marc Chagall, created for the ceiling of the grand hall of the Opéra Garnier at the request of André Malraux and inaugurated in 1964. The central medallion on the coin is not usually visible to visitors of the Palais Garnier, as it is hidden by the grand chandelier that illuminates the hall.V
