| Obverse description | A depiction of Saint Francis of Assisi stands prominently in the field, accompanied by three doves symbolizing peace and the Franciscan spirit. Behind the figure, a stylized representation of Mount Subasio and the surrounding Umbrian landscape forms the background, evoking the saint's deep connection to nature. An olive tree appears to the right, reinforcing the theme of the Canticle of Creatures. The encircling legend at top reads REPUBBLICA ITALIANA, with the commemorative inscription SAN FRANCESCO D'ASSISI 1226 – 2026 below, marking the 800th anniversary of the saint's death. The mint mark R and engraver's initials MB appear in the lower field. |

| Reverse description | At the center of the reverse, a large Tau cross — the symbol historically associated with Saint Francis of Assisi — dominates the field, flanked by depictions of the sun and moon, referencing Brother Sun and Sister Moon from the Canticle of Creatures. Surrounding the central motif, passages from the Canticle of Creatures (Laudes Creaturarum) in the original 13th-century Umbrian Italian are inscribed along both sides of the field. The denomination 0,75 Euro appears in the lower portion of the reverse. The overall composition reflects the Franciscan spirituality of praise for creation as expressed in the original text of the canticle. |
