| Obverse description | The interior of Notre-Dame de Paris cathedral is depicted, showcasing the newly renovated choir and the restored liturgical furnishings installed in the nave following the 2019 fire. In the upper register, the medieval timber framework—a complex interlocking arrangement of triangular wooden trusses that supports the cathedral's roof—is rendered in fine relief, its structural members visible above the vaulted ceiling. The face value '50 €', the date '2024', and the initials 'R F' (République Française) appear as inscriptions within the field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a stylized Gothic ogival bay framing a frontal view of Notre-Dame de Paris cathedral, with the composition following the pointed arch form and adorned with quatrefoil decorations along its tracery borders. Elaborate stained glass windows rendered in Gothic style occupy the interior of the bay, evoking the cathedral's celebrated rose windows and lancets. The reconstructed spire, designed by Eugène Viollet-le-Duc and rebuilt following the 2019 fire, serves as the central mullion of the bay, with the newly created cockerel finial visible at its summit. The legend 'REBÂTIR NOTRE-DAME' is inscribed around the design, referencing the cathedral's restoration. |
