A circular legend in raised Latin lettering surrounds the effigy along the rim, separated by a small heart device. The date 2005 appears in the lower exergue area within the border inscription. |

The design is set within a frosted recessed disc contrasting with the highly polished surrounding border. The commemorative inscription arc reads across the upper rim, flanked by the birth and bicentennial years of Hans Christian Andersen, while the denomination is inscribed in bold raised lettering along the lower border. |
