| Obverse description | Bare-headed portrait bust of Dag Hammarskjöld in high relief, facing right, rendered in a restrained, modernist style befitting the subject's stature as a statesman and diplomat. The engraver's initials EN appear in the left field below the truncation. The curved legend DAG HAMMARSKJÖLD arcs along the upper rim, while the commemorative dual dates 1905 · 2005 are positioned in the lower field, flanked by two small decorative dots. The entire design is framed by a fine beaded border. |

| Reverse description | A stylised representation of rising flames occupies the central field, serving as a visual metaphor drawn from Dag Hammarskjöld's literary interpretation of Saint-John Perse's Chronique. The curved legend encircles the design along the upper and lateral rim, incorporating the mint mark letter E (for Eskilstuna) to the left of the flames and the letter H (initial of the Riksbank Governor's surname) to the right. The denomination 2000 KRONOR and the issuer name SVERIGE appear in the lower field beneath the flames. The design is enclosed within a beaded border. |
