A circular legend reading 'PRØBE' repeated six times, separated by asterisks, runs along the outer ring in Latin script. The date '2004' appears in the lower exergual area beneath the shield, within the legend band. |

| Additional information |
Nordic gold — the copper-aluminum-zinc-tin alloy developed by Swedish company Nordic Mint in the 1990s — was adopted across EU coinage specifically because it resists discoloration and is effectively impossible to plate convincingly, a direct response to widespread counterfeiting of brass-alloy coins. Norway, not an EU member, independently adopted the alloy for its euro-cent-sized denominations around the same period.
