| Obverse description | The obverse features a composite architectural panorama of prominent French museums rendered in fine engraved detail across the rectangular field. In the upper left, an interior view of the Musée d'Orsay is depicted, identifiable by its iconic arched clock. Adjacent to it, the Louvre's Cour Napoléon façade is shown, with the glass pyramid prominently featured. Below, a fresco-style rendering of the Hôtel Salé, home to the Musée Picasso, occupies the central zone, while the lower portion presents the façade of the Hôtel Biron (Musée Rodin) alongside a view of the Centre Pompidou's external escalator structure. The legend RÉPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE 50 EURO appears within the composition. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a faithful artistic reproduction of Salvador Dalí's iconic Surrealist painting 'The Persistence of Memory' (1931), depicting the celebrated melting watches draped across a barren coastal landscape, rendered in precise intaglio engraving across the rectangular flan. The façade of the Centre Georges Pompidou, where Dalí's work has been exhibited on multiple occasions, is subtly integrated into the background design. The series identifier stamp 'CHEFS D'ŒUVRE DES MUSÉES' appears at the lower right, harmoniously blended into the composition. The legend LA PERSISTANCE DE LA MÉMOIRE DALI and the date 2021 are inscribed within the field. |
