OBVERSE 

On the obverse of this coin, we recognize essential components of Île-de-France's identity. The design is structured around the quintessential representation of the region, Paris, and even France: the Eiffel Tower. Drawn from a low angle, the tower bears the region's name inscribed on its first level. It also rests on an Art Nouveau metro entrance, nestled beneath its arches.

To his right, the bust of a majestic stag recalls that Île-de-France is also a region of parks, woods, and forests. Three fleurs-de-lis, arranged around the stag, refer to the territory's coat of arms. 

⁣⁢In contrast, Louis XIV is depicted in profile, with his name inscribed on his headdress. Below his portrait, a decorative element from the gates of the Palace of Versailles takes the form of an allegory of the Sun King, doubling the reference to the most famous king of France and the invaluable architectural heritage he left to Île-de-France with the Palace of
Versailles.⁤⁣

REVERSE

⁣⁢This common reverse for the round coins in the collection brings together all the regions that make up French territory. The outline of the design is covered by sandblasted discs of different diameters. They form the silhouette of metropolitan France, distinguished by its polished finish.
On the surface, we find the letters RF struck with the French flag in heraldry, and the face value of 5€.
The names of all metropolitan French regions are inscribed at their geographical locations. On the discs south of metropolitan France, the silhouettes of Corsica and the overseas departments and regions are recognizable: Guadeloupe, Martinique, French Guiana, Réunion, and Mayotte.⁤⁣
