| Obverse description | A portrait vignette of Carl von Linné (Carolus Linnaeus, 1707–1778), the Swedish botanist and father of modern taxonomy, is central to the design, set against a background incorporating Linnaeus's garden in Uppsala. The obverse carries an intaglio-printed guilloche underprint with the Latin motto 'OMNIA MIRARI ETIAM TRITISSIMA' alongside the issuer name and denomination in letterpress. Linnaeus is presented in period dress, rendered in fine intaglio line work. |

The surrounding background incorporates stylized imagery drawn from the process of flower fertilization, including a reconstruction of floral forms as perceived through the multifaceted compound eyes of a bee. The denomination and text are printed in intaglio against the intricate guilloche underprint. |
