Obverse
Portrait of Gustave Eiffel in front of an arch of the tower that bears his name. The portrait has been worked so that his facial features, hair and clothes are made of rivets, as if Gustave Eiffel were part of the metal structure he imagined.

Reverse
The reverse of the coin features representations of some of the architect's major works. At its centre, the Eiffel Tower seen from above divides the design into several zones. In the space to the left, the Statue of Liberty reveals its skeleton. Above the top of the tower, one can see the Garabit viaduct. On the right is the plan of the aeroplane designed by Gustave Eiffel, the LE. Finally, below the tower is the Maria Pia de Porto bridge, which straddles the face value.

Comments
This coin features an NFC(Near-field communication) chip which, once scanned and without prior registration, reveals the digital certificate authenticating the coin's characteristics. The customer can then choose whether or not to register on the blockchain to certify ownership of the coin.
The NFC chip is located on the reverse of the coin, under a resin stamped with the design of the top of the Eiffel Tower. The color used for this part of the design is taken from engravings dating from the 1889 Universal Exhibition, to match the original color of the tower.
