 The face of these colorized coins features Marc Chagall's fresco, created for the ceiling of the grand hall of the Opéra Garnier at the request of André Malraux and inaugurated in 1964. The central medallion on the coin is usually not visible to visitors of the Palais Garnier, as it is hidden by the large chandelier that illuminates the hall.
 The reverse depicts Jules-Eugène Lenepveu's work from 1872: The Muses and the hours of day and night. The face value of the coin and the name "République Française" are in the center of the composition, in the style and location of the grid that once supported the large chandelier.
 For each composition, the decor surrounding the work is a reproduction of the moldings that adorn the real ceiling. The name of each artist and the year the work was presented are inscribed on these ornaments.
