| Obverse description | A stylized hand holds an assortment of culinary symbols — including a rooster, carrot, fish, strawberry, and artichoke — arranged in the field. A stack of cooking pans appears in the lower portion of the design. The surrounding legend, rendered in Latin script, bears a celebrated quotation attributed to Guy Savoy, along with the RF monogram and the chef's name. The overall composition is engraved in a refined, illustrative style befitting a prestige commemorative issue. |

| Reverse description | The central field features a highly realistic polychrome enamel depiction of a fried egg — a white albumen with a vivid golden-yellow yolk at center — presented as a signature dish of chef Guy Savoy. The egg motif occupies the majority of the inner field and is set against a black-enamelled border decorated with intricate gilt foliate and scrollwork ornaments. The denomination '50 euro' is inscribed along the upper arc of the border, and the date '2017' appears at the right, separated by a small lozenge-shaped mint mark. The bold, artistic contrast between the luminous enamel centerpiece and the dark ornamental surround gives the reverse an exceptional decorative character. |
