OBVERSE

⁣⁢View of the Champs-Élysées Avenue with the Arc de Triomphe in the background, taken from the Place de la Concorde; we can see the tip of the obelisk.
In its center is a large golden flame enhanced with two golden arcs.
The trees on either side are adorned with a display of sparkling golden star garlands in memory of the Unknown Soldier.
Golden lines symbolize the life that animates the most beautiful avenue in the world.
The gilding of Paris as the "City of Light."⁤⁣
