| Obverse description | The obverse depicts a stylised scene from Aesop's fable showing a lion entangled in a hunter's net, rendered in an animated illustrative style designed by Leda Pavli. The lion's mane and outstretched paws are clearly visible within the triangular net, while a small mouse appears at the lower right, gnawing at the ropes. The Greek state arms — a shield bearing a cross within a wreath — appear in the upper left field, accompanied by the legend ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΗ ΔΗΜΟΚΡΑΤΙΑ. The denomination 1,5 ΕΥΡΩ is inscribed along the lower left, with the date 2026 to the left and the designer's initials to the lower right. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a fully coloured scene from Aesop's fable of the Lion and the Mouse, designed by Leda Pavli in a vivid cartoon-illustrative style. A large seated lion, rendered in warm brown tones with a prominent mane, occupies the central field, holding a small mouse gently in its forepaws amid green foliage. The legend ΤΟ ΛΙΟΝΤΑΡΙ ΚΑΙ ΤΟ ΠΟΝΤΙΚΙ curves along the upper periphery, while ΜΥΘΟΙ ΤΟΥ ΑΙΣΩΠΟΥ (Aesop's Fables) is inscribed along the left and lower periphery. The composition is framed by the milled border of the coin. |
