| Reverse description | Stylized portrait of the French novelist Honoré de Balzac in three-quarter view, rendered in bold engraved lines against a plain polished field, conveying his broad, expressive features. To the left of the portrait, the celebrated literary quotation À NOUS DEUX MAINTENANT! is inscribed in four stacked lines, referencing Rastignac's famous challenge to Paris from Le Père Goriot. The denomination 50 EURO appears to the right of the portrait in large numerals, and Balzac's facsimile signature is engraved below the bust in cursive script. The mint mark and the date 2014 appear in the lower exergue. |
