| Obverse description | Right-facing bust of Wilhelm Ostwald, the German-Baltic chemist and Nobel laureate, rendered in relief within the copper-nickel centre. The portrait depicts the subject with a full beard and short hair, presented in a naturalistic style. Surrounding the central disc, the brass ring bears a ring of twelve raised stars evocative of European coinage tradition. The legend 'LATVIA 2014' arcs along the left side of the inner field, while the inscription 'ESSAI · PATTERN · PROBE' appears along the lower right, denoting the piece's trial or pattern status. |

| Reverse description | Central field features a stylised architectural representation of an opera house interior, with the numeral '1' prominently displayed to the right, rendered in bold relief against a geometric, rectilinear background suggestive of rows of seating or organ pipes. The design fills the entire copper-nickel centre with a modern, graphic aesthetic. The denomination inscription 'XEROS' appears in the lower portion of the central disc, accompanied by a copyright symbol. The plain brass outer ring frames the composition without additional lettering. |
