| Obverse description | The obverse features the denomination '1 1/2 EURO' prominently in the center of the field, superimposed over a stylized outline map of Europe composed of scattered five-pointed stars, referencing the European Union motif. The legend 'CENTENAIRE D'HERGÉ' arcs vertically along the left rim, with the date '2007' and the RF monogram (République Française) completing the inscription. The design is rendered in a mirror-proof finish with frosted lettering, presenting a clean, graphic aesthetic befitting a commemorative issue. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts, to the right of center within a circular vignette, the colorized figures of Tintin — dressed in a blue outfit with a dark cap — and his companion Chang — wearing a green jacket — rendered in the distinctive ligne claire style of Hergé, applied in polychrome enamel. To the left, a large frosted bas-relief portrait of Hergé faces right, occupying the background field in an artistic double-exposure effect. At the top of the field, the mint mark of the Monnaie de Paris appears as a small cornucopia symbol, accompanied by a stylized building mark. The engraver's signature 'ML' appears within the vignette, and the legend 'HERGÉ' is inscribed in facsimile script along the lower portion of the field. |
