The frame is decorated with intricate scrollwork and relief detailing. A ring of twelve stars arches across the upper periphery, referencing the European Union.

| Reverse description | A bold raised effigy of Pablo Picasso in three-quarter facing bust occupies the central field, rendered in a realistic sculptural style with strongly modelled facial features characteristic of a mature portrait. The inscription 'PICASSO' appears in a stylised signature-like script along the lower left field. To the right, the artist's birth and death years '1881–1973' are inscribed vertically in a cartouche-style panel. The dark frosted background provides strong contrast against the polished relief portrait. |
