OBVERSE

On the obverse of this coin, we find an original composition by General Engraver Joaquin Jiménez. The two portraits facing each other represent a Spanish conquistador and Atahualpa, the last Inca emperor. In the center, a golden Inca idol "EL DORADO," above the mythical lake where an Inca lord covered in gold dust is said to have offered significant riches to the lake to appease the deity present in the water.

REVERSE

On the reverse, there is a modernized adaptation of the Sower by engraver Louis-Oscar Roty, with a heraldic version of the French flag appearing on the drape of her robe. The mention "RF" is also encircled by an interlacing of hexagons reminiscent of France.
