| Obverse description | The obverse features the Hellenic Republic coat of arms — a white cross on a blue escutcheon — centrally positioned within an olive wreath. Surrounding the central device is a decorative ring of stylized Cycladic-inspired crescent motifs, evoking the geometric ornamental vocabulary of the ancient Aegean. The legend ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΗ ΔΗΜΟΚΡΑΤΙΑ arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 50 ΕΥΡΩ is inscribed in the lower field. The design is executed in high-relief proof finish against a polished background. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a stylized rendering of a Cycladic marble idol, depicted in a schematic, elongated form characteristic of Early Bronze Age Aegean sculpture, occupying the central field. The circular legend ΚΥΚΛΑΔΙΚΟΣ ΠΟΛΙΤΙΣΜΟΣ runs along the periphery, reading from the lower left around the upper field. The date 2014 appears to the right of the central figure, accompanied by the mint mark of the National Mint of Greece. The minimalist composition reflects the abstract artistic tradition of the Cycladic civilization, rendered with exceptional clarity in proof quality. |
