The visible side of the coin shows the denomination '50 EURO CENT' with a map of Europe and the 12 stars of the European Union. The design is common across all Eurozone countries for the common side of the Euro coins.

Care Instructions
To preserve the coin, handle it by its edges to avoid transferring oils from your skin. Store it in a cool, dry place, preferably in a coin holder, album, or slab designed for coin preservation. Avoid cleaning the coin, as this can devalue it, especially for collectors.
