The center of the coin depicts Europe and a bull, Europe holding a pen and the text of the European Constitution. In the upper left corner of the image is the mint mark "R". The initials of the engraver Maria Carmela Colaneri, "MCC", are on the lower left edge of the central part of the coin.

The year of minting is indicated in the upper right corner of the image above the bull's head. Slightly off-center at the bottom of the image is the monogram of the Italian Republic, “RI.” The words "COSTITUZIONE EUROPEA" form a semicircle along the coin's outer ring below the central image, while twelve stars are depicted on the remainder of the outer ring.
