The coin, designed by Yves Sampo (Monnaie de Paris), Stephanie Lindner (Berlin State Mint), Alina Heuer (Berlin) and Sneschana Rousseva-Heuer (Berlin), depicts stylized portraits of the countries that signed the Elysee Treaty (Konrad Adenauer, then Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany, and Charles de Gaulle, former President of the French Republic) above their signatures on either side of the words «50 ANS JAHRE» and the year «2013» in the center.

The words «TRAITÉ DE L’ÉLYSÉE» and «ÉLYSÉE-VERTRAG» are centered along the top and bottom edges, respectively, of the inside of the coin. On the right inner edge below Adenauer’s portrait, the inner part also features a «fleurette» (engraving workshop mark) and the letters «RF» denoting the issuing country, while the mint mark is located on the left inner edge of the coin under de Gaulle’s portrait. The outer ring of the coin features the 12 stars of the European Union.
