This commemorative gold coin, minted in France, has a face value of 20 euros. 

The coin is minted in gold, with a weight of 3.11 grams and a diameter of 15 millimeters.

The coin is dedicated to Napoleon I, Emperor of France and King of Italy, and more specifically to the Battle of Austerlitz.

The obverse of the coin depicts the portraits of Alexander I, Tsar of Russia, and Francis I, Emperor of Austria and the Holy Roman Empire, facing Napoleon I. Napoleon is depicted victorious, riding at dawn on the battlefield of Austerlitz. In the foreground, Napoleon's legions form ranks and march towards the battlefield.

The reverse of the coin is inspired by the original medal minted in 1806 to commemorate Napoleon's victory at Austerlitz. In the center is a winged scepter topped with a statuette of Charlemagne, accompanied by lightning bolts. This composition evokes the symbolism of the ancient imperial imagery of Napoleon I.

This coin pays tribute to the three belligerents of the Battle of Austerlitz, nicknamed the 'Battle of the Three Emperors,' and commemorates the strategic genius of Napoleon and his legions against the armies of the Third Coalition.
