| Obverse description | Central depiction of Cologne Cathedral (Kölner Dom) rendered in fine relief, showing the iconic twin Gothic spires and the elaborately detailed western facade. A circular legend in the field reads 'DER KÖLNER DOM' to the left and 'JAHRE VOLLENDET' to the right, with the numeral '125' prominently placed at the top between the two arcs. The dates '1880' and '2005' appear at the lower left and lower right respectively, flanking the cathedral, and twelve five-pointed stars are distributed around the inner border, evoking the European motif. |

| Reverse description | The German Federal Eagle (Bundesadler) is depicted centrally in bold relief, with wings spread and head turned to the right, rendered in the heraldic style standard to Deutsche Mark coinage. The word 'PROBE' (meaning 'trial' or 'specimen') appears in small lettering directly above the eagle's head in the upper field. The curved legend 'BUNDESREPUBLIK DEUTSCHLAND' arcs around the upper periphery, and the date '2005' is inscribed along the lower border, flanking the numeral '1' which appears in the exergue beneath the eagle. A beaded inner border runs along the full circumference of the reverse field. |
