Depicts a three-quarter left-facing portrait of Bosio, which is based on a lithograph of Bosio drawn by Julien-Léopold Boilly, in the foreground and, in the background, an original sculpture representing the Salmacis Nymph (1826). A reduced replica of this sculpture is used as the top award at the Festival de Télévision de Monte-Carlo.

The text “MONACO” is placed above the portrait of Bosio and the commemorative inscription “FRANÇOIS-JOSEPH BOSIO” is placed below the portrait. The second inscription reads “1768 – SCULPTURER – 2018” and is below the first line of text below the portrait.

A geographical map of Western Europe spans the outer ring and inner core on the right side of the coin. The inscription 2 EURO is superimposed over the map of Europe, with the numeral “2” located in an open field representing the eastern Atlantic Ocean.

12 stars are located on the right side of the outer ring, with six stars atop the map of Europe and six stars below it; six vertical stripes cut across the inner core of the coin, visually connecting the upper and lower star segments.

Luc Luycx, a designer at the Royal Belgian Mint, designed the Euro’s common reverse; his initials, LL, are seen on the right side of the design, just under the “O” in “EURO.”

The sequence "2 ★ ★" repeated six times alternately upright and inverted.
