Obverse description The obverse features a bold, centrally positioned denomination numeral '50000' in large characters occupying the upper field, with the word 'FORINT' inscribed below in a matching serif style. The date '2004' appears in the middle field beneath the denomination, and the Budapest mint mark 'BP.' is struck in the lower central field. The legend 'MAGYAR KÖZTÁRSASÁG' (Republic of Hungary) curves along the left and lower periphery in large capital letters, filling the border of the coin's highly polished proof field.

Reverse description The reverse depicts the Hungarian mythical stag (csodaszarvas) rendered in a stylised, linear folk-art idiom, shown in full gallop facing left with dramatically branching antlers filling the upper field. The creature's body is executed in a flat, interlaced decorative style reminiscent of ancient Magyar metalwork traditions. Twelve five-pointed stars of the European Union are arranged in a circle around the periphery of the coin, symbolising Hungary's accession to the EU. The curved legend 'MAGYARORSZÁG AZ EURÓPAI UNIÓ TAGJA' (Hungary is a member of the European Union) runs along the outer border, partially above and partially below the central motif.
