| Obverse description | The obverse is divided into two distinct halves by a vertical line. The left half features the denomination '50 EURO' in bold relief against a dark mirror field, with the date '2013' and the mint master mark positioned in the lower portion. The right half displays a stylized map of Europe rendered in low relief, accompanied by a ring of stars referencing the European Union. The trilingual legend 'BELGIQUE · BELGIE · BELGIEN' runs around the full circumference within a raised border, attesting to Belgium's three official language communities. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a right-facing bust portrait of Hugo Claus, the celebrated Belgian poet, novelist, and playwright, rendered in fine relief against a deeply mirrored proof field. The portrait is detailed and naturalistic, conveying the subject's mature features with close-cropped curly hair and an open collar. To the right of the effigy, the dates '1929' and '2008' denote his birth and death years respectively, accompanied by a small copyright symbol. A facsimile of Hugo Claus's signature appears in flowing script across the lower field, personalizing the commemorative design. |
