| Obverse description | A blue enamelled crescent frames a ring of twelve five-pointed stars in the upper field, with the legend ESPAÑA inscribed below. To the left, a front-facing portrait effigy of Spanish composer Manuel de Falla is depicted; to the right, an inkwell, quill pen, and an unfurled parchment bearing a passage of sheet music are rendered in fine relief. The design composition commemorates de Falla's artistic legacy, combining portraiture with symbolic references to his musical output. The overall style is illustrative and commemorative in character. |

| Reverse description | The central field features a bold, high-relief depiction of the Abduction of Europa, showing a female figure astride a bull in the classical mythological tradition, rendered with radiating sunburst lines emanating outward across the field. The legend ECU appears prominently in large raised letters across the upper portion of the coin, with the mint mark G and the date 1999 inscribed in the lower exergual area. The composition is strongly centred, with the figural group occupying the majority of the field against the striated background. The gold-plated finish accentuates the relief of the design elements. |
