| Obverse description | The obverse features the Louvre Pyramid in the foreground, rendered in fine detail, through which the iconic Winged Victory of Samothrace is visible as a symbolic artistic centerpiece. The legend LOUVRE is inscribed along the base of the pyramid, flanked by hallmarks at either end. Above the roofline of the Louvre palace, the national identifier RF (République Française) and the face value 50 EURO appear as part of the upper field legend. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents paired full-length portrait compositions derived from Rembrandt van Rijn's celebrated 1634 pendant portraits of Marten Soolmans and Oopjen Coppit, depicted in formal black attire against dark fields. The names of the sitters, the artist's name REMBRANDT, and the year 2025 are inscribed between the two figures. The decorative border of the rectangular flan replicates the ornate gilded frames of the original paintings, with the legend identifying the joint custodian institutions — RIJKSMUSEUM on the left and LOUVRE on the right — acknowledging the paintings' shared stewardship between Amsterdam and Paris. |
