| Obverse description | The obverse depicts Astérix delivering a powerful punch to a Roman soldier, a recurring motif throughout the comic book series by Goscinny and Uderzo. The dynamic scene is rendered in a style closely referencing the comic book illustrations, with the characters positioned prominently in the central field. This design appears in several albums, notably 'Astérix chez les Bretons' and 'Astérix légionnaire', where Astérix's combat prowess is a key narrative element. The legend '1 1/2 EURO RF 2007' and the copyright inscription '© 2007 GOSCINNY-UDERZO' encircle the design. |

| Reverse description | The reverse, common to all seven coins in the series, depicts Obélix attempting to take the magic potion from the druid Panoramix (Getafix), observed by Astérix and Idéfix (Dogmatix). The scene references the narrative of the album 'La Galère d'Obélix', recalling that Obélix was rendered permanently strong after falling into the druid's cauldron as an infant and is therefore forbidden from consuming further potion. The illustration faithfully reproduces the characteristic graphic style of the Goscinny-Uderzo albums, with the figures set against a plain field. |
