The face value '50 EURO' is inscribed at the upper portion of the reverse, with the series title 'LES GRANDS NAVIRES FRANÇAIS' arcing within the legend field, all lettering in Latin script. |

| Additional information |
Part of the Monnaie de Paris "Régions de France" series, which ran through the mid-2010s as a large-format silver program honoring each of metropolitan France's administrative regions before the 2016 territorial merger reduced their number from 22 to 13. Gironde, as a département rather than a région, is an unusual choice within this framework — the series nomenclature is inconsistent, and several issues blur the line between departmental and regional identity.
The 2016 reform that consolidated France's regions gave this entire series an inadvertent finality.
