A decorative magic wand motif with a scroll of stars frames the upper portion of the design. The abbreviation 'RF' (République Française), denoting the issuing state, appears below the denomination, accompanied by the commemorative legend 'CENTENAIRE D'HERGÉ' in honour of the centenary of the Belgian cartoonist's birth. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a large relief portrait of Hergé (Georges Remi), the celebrated creator of Tintin, occupying the left portion of the field in an uncolored sculptural style. To the right, a circular cartouche contains a polychrome colored scene depicting Tintin — recognizable by his signature red quiff and blue shirt — alongside Professor Calculus, rendered in the distinctive ligne claire style of Hergé's original artwork. The engraver's signature 'HERGÉ' appears in cursive script at the lower field, with the copyright mark '©ML' inscribed within the colored cartouche. The Monnaie de Paris mintmark is visible at the top of the field. |
