| Obverse description | A finely detailed depiction of an old Spanish caravel under full sail occupies the left and central field, rendered in high relief with intricate rigging and billowing sails. The inscription 'ESPAÑA' runs vertically along the left rim. To the upper right, the large numeral '1' dominates the field, accompanied by the denomination 'ECU' beneath it. The crowned royal monogram 'M' of the Madrid Mint appears in the upper right field, and a circle of twelve stars referencing the European Community is positioned in the lower right field. |

| Reverse description | A large naval anchor is displayed prominently in the center of the field, its shank dividing the motto of the Spanish Navy into two columns of text arranged to either side. The motto, rendered in a bold stylized lettering, reads 'TU REGERE YMPERIO FLUCTUS HISPANE MEMENTO', a Virgilian adaptation long associated with Spanish naval tradition. The date '1995' is inscribed in the lower central field, flanked by the flukes of the anchor. The overall design is uncluttered, with the anchor serving as the dominant heraldic device against a flat, polished field. |
