| Obverse description | The Nauru coat of arms is depicted centrally in the field, featuring the traditional shield supported by two frigate bird feathers on either side, with a star and the motto scroll at the base. The legend BANK OF NAURU arcs along the upper periphery, while the date 2005 appears in the lower field beneath the arms. The design is rendered in high relief against a polished proof field. |

Nauru's gold miniature series, of which this is one entry, exploited the island nation's nominal monetary sovereignty to produce collector issues bearing portraits of foreign statespeople — a practice with no connection to Nauruan history or circulation. Adenauer himself died in 1967, nearly four decades before this coin was struck. The Bank of Nauru was effectively insolvent by the early 2000s following the collapse of phosphate revenues, making these issues curiosities of convenience rather than any meaningful commemorative program.
