| Obverse description | The entire field is covered with an elaborate guilloché pattern inspired by the distinctive cut-crystal motif of Baccarat glassware, featuring interlocking diagonal grid lines and repeating faceted diamond shapes that radiate across the surface in sweeping elliptical bands. At the centre, the stylised interlaced monogram 'RF' (République Française) is rendered in relief, enclosed within a decorative cartouche. The deeply engraved background texture evokes the reflective brilliance of hand-cut crystal, lending the obverse a distinctly artistic and luxurious character. |

| Reverse description | The reverse field is elaborately engraved with a composite design evoking the craft and artistry of the Baccarat crystal manufactory, incorporating multiple finely detailed cut-glass patterns including sunburst, hobnail, and fan motifs arranged across the field. At centre, a polychrome coloured inset depicting a faceted gemstone — rendered in deep amber-red tones with visible internal faceting — is applied in relief as a centrepiece, representing a Baccarat crystal. The denomination numeral '50' appears to the upper left and the legend 'EURO' to the right, with the date '2014' inscribed below in the field. |
