The face of this coin is adorned with elements of the Grand Est region's identity, providing a glimpse of the region's wealth.

In the center of the design, the name of the region is inscribed vertically along the spire of Strasbourg Cathedral. The building stands on the right-hand side of the design, representing the architecture of the Grand Est region, and more specifically the region's prefecture. Another symbol of Alsace, the cathedral is topped by a stork. On the left, the imposing silhouette of a grape leaf frames the portrait of Clovis, the first king of the Franks and a historical figure emblematic of the region due to a famous event in its history: his baptism in Reims. Finally, a bunch of grapes, linked to the vine leaf, recalls an activity common to many parts of the region: viticulture, particularly developed in Champagne and Alsace.
