| Obverse description | A finely detailed depiction of the French nuclear aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle dominates the lower field, rendered in profile underway at sea with its distinctive flight deck, island superstructure, and naval ensign visible. Above the vessel, a Dassault Rafale M carrier-based fighter aircraft is shown in flight, with a dashed arc indicating its flight path curving across the upper field. In the lower exergue, the legend RF appears within a beaded oval at left, flanked by an anchor-and-trident emblem within a beaded oval at right, with the ship's name LE CHARLES DE GAULLE inscribed prominently between them in bold raised lettering. |

| Reverse description | The upper field features a large recessed rectangular panel with multiple concentric frame borders bearing the face value 50 EURO in bold raised numerals and lettering. Arching along the upper rim is the series legend LES GRANDS NAVIRES FRANÇAIS. In the lower half of the field, five historic French naval vessels are depicted in stylized silhouette across two registers, ranging from sailing ships to modern warships, representing the breadth of French maritime heritage. At the base of the design, a prominent anchor chain motif spans the lower field, and the date 2016 appears in the exergue below the chain. |
