| Reverse description | Central motif depicts the famous bronze sculpture of the Little Mermaid (Den Lille Havfrue), shown seated upon her characteristic rock and gazing into the distance, faithfully rendered after the original statue by Edvard Eriksen situated in Copenhagen harbour. The inscription 'PETITE SIRÈNE COPENHAGUE' appears in the field, with the date '1997' positioned to the right of the central design. The composition is executed in high relief against a polished field, consistent with French proof-quality commemorative coinage. |
