| Obverse description | The obverse bears four celebrated literary quotations arranged around the field: Voltaire's 'Le mieux est l'ennemi du bien', Dante Alighieri's 'Lasciate ogne speranza voi ch'intrate', William Shakespeare's 'To be or not to be: that is the question', and Friedrich Nietzsche's 'Was mich nicht umbringt, macht mich stärker'. A quill feather is engraved at the center of the field as the primary design element, symbolizing the art of writing.

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a richly detailed underwater scene inspired by Jules Verne's novel 'Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea'. Captain Nemo is depicted at center aboard the submarine Nautilus, surrounded by the writhing tentacles of a giant squid. In the lower field, three divers are shown advancing through the marine depths in search of treasure, with a shark rendered above them. A sunken ancient shipwreck occupies the background, evoking the subaquatic adventures of the novel's protagonists. The legend 'VINGT MILLE LIEUES SOUS LES MERS', the author's name 'JULES VERNE', and the date '2025' are inscribed on the reverse. |
