| Obverse description | Within the central copper-nickel disc, a female effigy wearing a mural crown faces left, her hair wrapped in draped fabric; only the upper portion of the towered crown extends beyond the disc into the outer bronzital ring. The outer ring bears the legend REPVBBLICA ITALIANA interrupted by twelve five-pointed stars arranged symmetrically — six above the head and six below — representing the member states of the European Union at the time of issue. The engraver's signature L.CRETARA appears in the field below the neck truncation. |

| Reverse description | The central disc displays a stylized partial globe centred on Europe, rendered with bold meridian and parallel lines. Above the map, five folded paper sheets are arranged along the inner border of the disc, their arrangement forming a five-pointed star-shaped aperture through which the European continent is visible. In the outer bronzital ring, the denomination L.1000 appears at the bottom, with the engraver's name PERNAZZA positioned just above it at the disc boundary. The date 1997 is inscribed vertically along the left side of the disc, and the Rome Mint mark R appears at the right. |
