| Obverse description | The obverse features architectural motifs drawn from five celebrated Parisian cultural institutions: the Musée d'Orsay, the Louvre, the Musée Picasso, the Musée Rodin, and the Centre Pompidou, rendered in fine engraved detail against the field. The legend RÉPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE appears alongside the denomination 50 EURO, inscribed in Latin script. The architectural imagery serves as a unifying visual framework for the broader 'Museum Masterpieces' commemorative series, evoking France's pre-eminent role as a guardian of world art heritage. |

| Reverse description | The reverse reproduces Eugène Delacroix's celebrated 1830 painting La Liberté guidant le peuple, with the composition centered on the allegorical figure of Marianne bearing the tricolour flag, accompanied by the street urchin Gavroche. The engraving faithfully captures the dynamic, Romantic-style composition of the original canvas held at the Musée du Louvre, whose architectural facade forms an integral element of the surrounding frame design. A 'Chefs-d'œuvres des Musées' cartouche is positioned in the upper right field, functioning as the series hallmark. Surrounding inscriptions name the artist, the work, and the year of issue, arranged decoratively along the border in Latin script. |
