| Obverse description | Central field features a detailed linear depiction of the French nuclear aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle (R91) at sea, shown from a three-quarter bow perspective with its island superstructure and flight deck rendered in fine relief. A Rafale M carrier-borne fighter jet is shown in flight above the vessel, with a dashed arc suggesting its flight path across the upper field. At the lower left, the republican monogram 'RF' appears within a circular cartouche, flanked at the lower right by a naval anchor symbol within a similar cartouche. The legend 'LE CHARLES DE GAULLE' is inscribed in bold lettering across the lower portion of the field. |

| Reverse description | The upper portion of the reverse is dominated by the denomination '50 EURO' in large numerals and lettering, set within a recessed rectangular panel framed by concentric decorative borders. Flanking the denomination panel, the curved legend 'LES GRANDS NAVIRES FRANÇAIS' arcs along the upper rim. Below the denomination panel, a panoramic silhouette frieze depicts five historic French naval vessels of varying eras, including sailing ships and modern warships, rendered in fine engraved outline against a mirror-polished field. The lower segment features a prominent anchor chain motif rendered in high relief, symbolising French maritime heritage, with the date '2016' inscribed between decorative stops at the very base. |
