| Obverse description | The obverse features a bold, modernist typographic design dominated by the large numeral '3000' at centre, with the denomination 'FORINT' inscribed below and the issue date '2000' beneath that. The mint mark 'BP.' appears above the numeral in the upper field. The legend 'MAGYAR KÖZTÁRSASÁG' (Republic of Hungary) arcs around the periphery, with 'MAGYAR' along the upper arc and 'KÖZTÁRSASÁG' along the lower arc, all rendered in large capital letters against a mirrored proof field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely detailed naturalistic portrait of a European beaver (Castor fiber) depicted in right profile, crouching on its characteristic broad, flat tail and gnawing on a small branch. The animal's dense, textured fur is rendered with great sculptural precision. Branches and twigs frame the scene in the background, creating a habitat setting. The Latin scientific name 'CASTOR FIBER' appears in the right field, while the curved legend 'VESZÉLYEZTETETT ÁLLATVILÁG' (Endangered Wildlife) runs along the lower periphery. |
