| Obverse description | Full-length figure of the Austrian Symbolist painter Gustav Klimt shown facing, clad in a long artist's robe, standing between two easels bearing details of his paintings rendered in high relief.

| Reverse description | Artistic interpretation in high relief of Gustav Klimt's celebrated 1907–1908 painting 'The Kiss' (Der Kuss), depicting two embracing figures rendered in the painter's characteristic Jugendstil ornamental style. The male figure, his garment adorned with rectangular geometric patterns, leans over the female figure whose robes are decorated with floral and circular motifs in swirling relief. The composition fills the coin's field almost entirely, capturing the sinuous, decorative quality of the original canvas. The legend DER KUSS is inscribed in the right field. |
