The coin shows the Treaty of Rome being signed by the six founding countries of the European Union a background evoking the paving (designed by Michelangelo) of the Piazza del Campidoglio in Rome, where the signing took place on March 25, 1957. The words ‘Treaty of Rome 50 years’, ‘EUROPE’, and 'ITALIAN REPUBLIC appear in Italian. The coin’s outer ring bears the twelve five-pointed stars of the European Union.
