| Obverse description | A dynamic, panoramic composition depicting a helmeted and goggled aviator in three-quarter bust, gazing upward toward the sky, rendered in high relief against a finely detailed background. Above the figure, a montage of aircraft silhouettes spanning the history of aviation — from early biplanes to modern jet aircraft — fills the upper field, their flight paths suggested by intersecting lines. To the lower left, the Republican monogram 'RF' appears above the denomination '50 euro' in bold numerals. The series inscription 'L'AVIATION & L'HISTOIRE' curves along the lower rim, completing the thematic frame. |

| Reverse description | A richly detailed narrative scene commemorating the 1948–1949 Berlin Airlift, dominated in the upper field by a large Douglas C-47 Dakota transport aircraft rendered in precise relief, flying low over the rooftops and ruins of a bombed-out city, with smaller supply aircraft visible in the night sky above. In the lower field, a crowd of Berliners is depicted looking upward and gesturing toward the incoming aircraft amid rubble and urban debris. Across the centre of the field, the famous quotation '«Ich bin ein Berliner.»' is inscribed, attributed below to 'J.F. Kennedy'. The aircraft designation 'C47-1948' appears vertically along the left rim, the year '2018' to the lower right, and the commemorative legend '70 ans du pont aérien' curves along the bottom rim. |
