| Obverse description | Central field features a large stylised letter 'E' symbolising Europe, surrounded by a wreath composed of laurel branches on the left and oak branches on the right, enclosing a ring of twelve five-pointed stars arranged in a circle — a reference to the flag of the Council of Europe. The date 1980 appears above the central device at the top of the wreath. A trilingual legend runs around the full circumference of the coin, reading NINETEENTH THALER OF EUROPE in English, DIX-NEUVIEME ECU d'EUROPE in French, and NEUNZEHNTER EUROPA TALER in German, separated by dot stops. |

| Reverse description | A bold, high-relief right-facing portrait bust of Carlo Schmid occupies the central field, rendered in a naturalistic sculptural style with pronounced facial detail befitting an elderly statesman. The legend CARLO SCHMID arcs along the lower periphery, flanked by the birth and death years 1896 and 1979 positioned at the left and right margins respectively, with a dot separating the surname from the dates. The darkened field provides strong contrast to the raised portrait, enhancing its visual prominence. |
