Depicts the logo of the ANPS, Associazione Nazionale della Polizia di Stato (National Association of the State Police) combined with the number “50”. Below, cartouche with the inscription “ANNIVERSARIO”, the dates “1968”, year of the foundation, and “2018”, year of the coin’s issue, followed by the name of the designer “PETRASSI”.

The Logo depicts the golden eagle (valour and strength), the turreted crown between the wings raised on its head (loyalty to the Democratic Republic) the tricolour cartouche between its paws (the tricolor symbol of unity in which the acronym ANPS stands out), and in the chest of the eagle the tripartite shield with the lion rampant with a sword (inflexibility and courage), the two crossed torches (solidarity and altruism), the book with the inscription LEX (cult of legality).

Depicts in the foreground, two figures representing ANPS, in their dress uniforms; in the background, detail from the painting representing “The Archangel Michael defeating Satan”, Patron Saint of Police Forces, an artwork by Guido Reni conserved in the Church of Saint Mary of the Immaculate Conception in Rome. On the right, “R”, identifying the Mint of Rome; below, the value “5 EURO”; around, the inscription “ASSOCIAZIONE NAZIONALE POLIZIA DI STATO”.
