| Obverse description | The obverse features a stylized globe rendered in low relief at center, overlaid with the large denomination numeral '50' above the word 'EURO' in bold lettering, together forming the face value. The French Republican monogram 'RF' appears below the globe. The background of the field evokes the architectural structure of the Maracanã Stadium, with radiating tiers rendered in fine engraved lines. The arc legend 'STADE DE MARACANÃ COUPE DU MONDE DE LA FIFA 2014™' curves around the upper and left periphery of the design. |

France's official participation in the 2014 World Cup ended in the quarterfinals, eliminated by Germany — the eventual champions. The Monnaie de Paris issued this piece as part of a broader commemorative program tied to the tournament held in Brazil, the first South American host since Argentina in 1978.
