| Obverse description | The obverse features the denomination '20 EURO' prominently in the center of the field, surrounded by a dynamic swirl of five-pointed stars rendered in high relief against a deeply mirrored proof background. The legend 'CENTENAIRE D'HERGÉ' arcs around the left and lower periphery in bold raised lettering, while the date '2007' curves along the upper right. A diagonal line element in the upper left field adds a graphic design accent consistent with the comic-strip artistic aesthetic of the commemorative series. The French Republican monogram 'RF' appears discreetly within the design. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is divided into two distinct compositional zones. On the left, a detailed portrait bust of cartoonist Hergé (Georges Remi) is depicted in profile relief, with his facsimile signature inscribed below. On the right, within a circular cartouche, the iconic figures of Tintin and his white fox terrier Snowy (Milou) are rendered in vivid colored resin, faithfully reproducing the ligne claire graphic style of the original comic strip artwork. Above the central design, the Château de Moulinsart (Marlinspike Hall) is depicted in relief, serving as a symbolic architectural reference to the Tintin universe. |
