| Obverse description | The obverse features a densely populated underwater scene filling the central field, depicting an array of deep-sea and marine creatures rendered in fine relief, including a jellyfish, an octopus, a shrimp, a flatfish, a seahorse, coral formations, and other marine fauna amid air bubbles. The circular legend reads REPUBLIK ÖSTERREICH along the upper periphery, with the denomination 3 EURO inscribed along the lower arc in large, bold characters. The design is engraved by Anna Rastl in a lively, naturalistic style, conveying the diversity of ocean life across the coin's surface. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dramatically colored, near-black central disc depicting a large deep-sea anglerfish (Melanocetus johnsonii) in high relief, its characteristic bioluminescent lure and formidable dentition rendered with striking naturalistic detail against a dark background evoking the abyssal depths. Surrounding the central disc, the raised border contains a starfish and a scallop shell to the left, alongside a graduated depth scale inscribed 300m, 400m, 500m, and 600m, referencing the creature's habitat range. Stylized submarine porthole and instrumentation motifs decorate the lower border, adding a scientific-exploration aesthetic. The legend TIEFSEE-ANGLERFISCH arcs prominently across the upper periphery, with the date 2023 at the lower left of the inner border. The overall composition is engraved by Helmut Andexlinger and evokes the mysterious environment of the deep ocean. |
