The aluminium bronze outer ring carries the legend 'REPUBLIK ÖSTERREICH' arching along the upper periphery and '· SCHILLING ·' along the lower periphery, all in raised Latin capitals. |

| Reverse description | The copper-nickel centre presents a detailed portrait bust of Nobel laureate Konrad Lorenz facing left, rendered in a realistic engraving style with fine modelling of facial features including a prominent beard and moustache. To the right of the portrait, three greylag geese — emblematic of Lorenz's pioneering research into animal behaviour and imprinting — are depicted in profile. The aluminium bronze outer ring bears the commemorative legend '25 JAHRE NOBELPREIS KONRAD LORENZ' arching around the upper and left periphery, with the dual dates '1973' and '1998' inscribed at the base of the centre, separated by raised dots. |
