| Obverse description | A three-quarter facing portrait effigy of Pope Francis (Franciscus) occupies the central field, rendered in fine relief with characteristic simplicity of vestment. The papal effigy is surrounded by the legend CITTÀ DEL VATICANO arcing along the upper periphery, denoting the issuing state. A wreath of twelve five-pointed stars, emblematic of the European Union, encircles the design along the outer ring. The mint mark R and the year of issue appear in the lower portion of the inner disc, accompanied by the engravers' initials P. DANIELE and the MCC monogram referencing the Pontifical Commission. |

| Reverse description | The standard European common reverse design by Luc Luycx features a stylised relief map of the European continent extending beyond the flan's inner disc, rendered without national borders to symbolise European unity. The face value 1 EURO is inscribed to the left of the map in two lines, with the numeral and denomination clearly separated. The designer's initials LL appear discreetly in the field. The outer ring bears the twelve stars of the European Union evenly spaced around the circumference. |
