| Reverse description | The reverse presents an artistic composition of stylised overlapping flags of France and China rendered in flowing lines across the field, evoking the spirit of bilateral friendship. In the upper right portion of the field, the commemorative inscription is rendered bilingually: in French, '50e anniversaire des relations diplomatiques franco-chinoises', and in Chinese characters, '中法建交五十周年' (50th anniversary of the establishment of Sino-French diplomatic relations). Five stars, referencing the Chinese national flag, are positioned in the centre field above the denomination. The lower field displays the denomination '50 EURO' in large numerals accompanied by the Chinese characters '欧元' (Euro). |
