| Obverse description | The obverse features a stylized schematic rendition of the Keros figurine, an abstract Cycladic idol rendered as a geometric composition of triangular and linear forms against a mirror-polished field. A circular motif crowns the apex of the figure, evoking the head, while two diagonal arms extend outward. To the lower right, the Greek State emblem — a shield bearing a cross, encircled by a laurel wreath — appears in the field. The legend ΔΗΛΟΣ arcs along the upper periphery, the inscription ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΗ ΔΗΜΟΚΡΑΤΙΑ curves along the lower rim, and the date 2023 is placed centrally at the base of the design. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a square decorative panel set within the round field, inspired by ancient Delian mosaic and textile motifs. A diagonal staff or thyrsus-like element crosses the panel from upper left to lower right, adorned with a foliate bow at its center. Elaborate spiral volutes ornament each corner of the square, while wave-like undulating motifs fill the upper-right triangular half of the panel, evoking the sea surrounding the sacred island of Delos. A small floral mint mark appears above the panel at twelve o'clock. The denomination 50 ΕΥΡΩ is inscribed along the lower margin of the field in plain Greek capitals. |
