The legend ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΗ ΔΗΜΟΚΡΑΤΙΑ arcs above the central device, while the denomination 6 ΕΥΡΩ is inscribed below. The surrounding field is densely decorated with incuse mathematical and economic formulae, letters, and symbols rendered in relief, creating a textured background referencing economic scholarship.

| Reverse description | A finely engraved bust-length portrait of economist Kyriakos Varvaressos faces slightly to the left in three-quarter view, rendered in high relief with precise detail of his suit and tie. To the right of the portrait, a stylised architectural or grid motif references financial institutions, with the year 2018 incorporated into the design. The curved legend ΔΙΑΠΡΕΠΕΙΣ ΕΛΛΗΝΕΣ ΟΙΚΟΝΟΜΟΛΟΓΟΙ arcs along the upper periphery, identifying the commemorative series. The inscription ΚΥΡΙΑΚΟΣ ΒΑΡΒΑΡΕΣΣΟΣ with his birth and death dates 1884–1957 appears along the lower portion of the field. The composition effectively balances portraiture with geometric background elements in a contemporary numismatic style. |
