In 2023 to mark the centenary of Gustave Eiffel's death, La Monnaie de Paris is paying tribute to him with a collection of coins highlighting the man and his work. A famous French engineer and entrepreneur specialising in the construction of metal structures, Gustave Eiffel left behind a legacy of iconic works that have shaped the landscapes of France and the world.

The face of the coin features a portrait of Gustave Eiffel in front of an arch of the tower that bears his name. The portrait has been worked so that the facial features, hair and clothes of the artist are made of rivets, as if Gustave Eiffel were one with the metal structures he imagined throughout his life. The year 2023 is inscribed in the form of metal plates studded near the portrait. The reverse of the 10- and 100-dollar coins shows the face value surrounded by two branches, one of oak, the other of laurel, evoking the Euro symbol. The entire reverse design is framed by a series of lines representing the Hexagon.
