Official issue from France for the year 2026, with a face value of 200 Euro in gold, minted in PROOF quality, dedicated to the Musée d'Orsay, one of France's most important cultural institutions and a global reference in 19th-century art. The coin is minted in high-purity gold with a PROOF finish, combining mirror fields and matte reliefs of extraordinary definition. It is part of the Monnaie de Paris's prestige issues dedicated to French artistic and architectural heritage. The obverse depicts several iconic works preserved in the Musée d'Orsay.

Behind them are Le Fifre by Édouard Manet and La Femme à l’ombrelle tournée vers la gauche by Claude Monet. The scene is completed by La Petite danseuse de quatorze ans by Edgar Degas, situated in front of the large clock on the fifth floor, one of the museum's most emblematic elements. All these motifs are integrated within the frame of the famous clock, an inseparable symbol of the Musée d'Orsay's identity. The reverse highlights the building's unique architecture by depicting four ornamented coffers with floral motifs running along the eaves, enclosed within a riveted metal structure that reproduces the original decoration of the roof of the old Orsay station, preserved since its construction.
