Hello Frank !
The lady on the coin is Marianne, the allegoric (and revolutionnary) symbol of France.
On the coins, at the time, Marianne showed always the same face.
For other representations, like bust statues for administrations, some well known french women were pictured, like Brigitte Bardot, Mireille Mathieu, and so on.
