The portrait is executed in bold angular planes, giving the bust a modern sculptural quality distinctive of the engraver Marjolein Rothman. The circular legend reads 'KONING DER NEDERLANDEN' along the upper periphery, with 'WILLEM-ALEXANDER' along the lower periphery, and the date '2015' positioned to the right of the effigy in the field.
