| Obverse description | Against a deeply mirrored proof field evoking a night sky, the full-length figure of the Little Prince stands to the right in the centre of the design, rendered in frosted relief after the style of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's original illustrations. He extends his right arm outward while his left hand rests at his side, dressed in his characteristic long coat and scarf. A crashed biplane lies in the desert landscape occupying the lower left field, with stylised sand dunes receding into the background. A radiant sun with wavy rays appears at the upper centre, the cursive legend LE PETIT PRINCE arcs along the upper left border, and the Republican monogram RF is prominently displayed in the lower centre field, with the trademark notation LPP TM incused at lower right. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a stylised line-drawing portrait of the Little Prince, rendered in the manner of Saint-Exupéry's own illustrations, set against a deeply mirrored proof field scattered with five-pointed stars. The denomination 50 euro and the date 2015 appear in large relief numerals and lettering to the left of the portrait. Surrounding the central design, the title of the book is inscribed in four languages in a continuous circular legend: LE PETIT PRINCE in French at upper left, THE LITTLE PRINCE in English at upper right, DER KLEINE PRINZ in German at lower right, and the Japanese equivalent 星の王子さま in Japanese characters at lower left, each title separated by five-pointed stars. |
