| Obverse description | The allegorical figure of America personified as an Indian princess stands at center, draped and wearing a feathered headdress, holding a cornucopia in one arm while extending the other in welcome toward Mercury, the god of science and commerce, who approaches from the right. The composition references the Franco-American alliance and the ideals of trade and prosperity. The engravers' names DUPRE.F. and G. BARBER appear in the field, along with the date 1876 commemorating the centennial context of the original design. The legend TO PEACE AND COMMERCE and the denomination 50 EURO appear within the obverse inscription, alongside the founding date IV JUL. MDCCLXXVI and the mark RF denoting the République Française. |

| Reverse description | The Great Seal of the United States dominates the reverse, featuring a bald eagle displayed with wings spread, clutching an olive branch in one talon and a bundle of thirteen arrows in the other, symbolizing the dual capacity for peace and defense. Above the eagle, a glory of thirteen five-pointed stars arranged in a constellation bursts through clouds, representing the original thirteen states. A radiant glory of light rays pierces the clouds above the eagle's head. The peripheral legend THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA arcs around the upper field, with the motto E PLURIBUS UNUM and the issue year 2022 inscribed below. |
