| Obverse description | The obverse features a richly detailed composite design depicting multiple native Austrian wildlife species arranged across the field, including a bear, wolf, lynx, deer, frog, and fish, rendered in a naturalistic illustrative style. The large numeral '3' and the denomination 'EURO' are prominently inscribed in the lower portion of the field. The legend 'REPUBLIK ÖSTERREICH' arcs along the upper periphery in bold raised lettering.

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a strikingly lifelike, full-color depiction of a common kingfisher (Alcedo atthis) perched on a branch above a rippling water surface, facing left with its characteristic long, pointed bill prominent in profile. The bird's vivid iridescent blue plumage on the crown and back contrasts brilliantly with its warm orange-rufous underparts, rendered through applied color printing over the copper-nickel blank. A leaping fish is engraved in the background to the right, surrounded by aquatic vegetation and foliage worked in fine relief against the darkened field. The date '2017' appears to the right of the bird, while the species name 'EISVOGEL' is inscribed in bold raised lettering along the lower arc of the field. |
