| Obverse description | The obverse features a stylized naive-art depiction of a child figure rendered in simple linear strokes, standing before a large rising sun motif occupying the upper right field. The design evokes a childlike drawing aesthetic, emphasizing innocence and youth in keeping with the commemorative theme. The legend MAGYAR KÖZTÁRSASÁG arcs along the upper periphery within a beaded border, with the commemorative inscription 15 ÉVES A NEMZETKÖZI GYERMEKMENTŐ SZOLGÁLAT arranged in four lines across the right field. The date 2005 appears in the lower exergue area beneath the central design. |

| Additional information |
The International Children's Safety Service, founded in Budapest in 1994, operates as a nonprofit running child safety hotlines across Central and Eastern Europe — a region where, following the collapse of communist governments, child welfare infrastructure had largely disintegrated. Hungary's decision to issue a commemorative coin for the organization reflected both national pride in hosting the ICSS headquarters and a broader post-transition effort to signal alignment with Western humanitarian priorities. The coin saw limited collector uptake and remains modestly priced in the secondary market.
