The coin features a unique design that commemorates the 600th anniversary of the reign of King John II, also known as John the Good. The obverse side of the coin depicts a portrait of King John II, while the reverse side features a representation of the king's famous seal, which includes a shield with the fleur-de-lis symbol and the motto "Rex totius Galliae" (King of all Gaul). The coin's design is the work of the French artist and engraver, Joaquin Jimenez.
