| Obverse description | The coin is shaped as a ship's helm with eight spokes, framing a circular dark-field medallion. In the central field, a relief depiction of a full-rigged sailing frigate, identified as the USS Constellation (Commodore Truxtun's 1797 frigate), underway on the sea. Five six-pointed stars arc across the upper field above the vessel, representing the five previous ships named Truxtun. The circumferential legend reads around the border of the inner disc. |

| Reverse description | The reverse shares the same ship's helm outline, here with a rope-twist border on the inner disc. The central field features a detailed relief of the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Truxtun (DDG-103) underway, with hull number 103 marked on the bow. In the upper left, a color enameled oval ship's crest inscribed USS TRUXTUN / DDG-103 is applied in relief. Above the destroyer, crossed missiles or weapons are depicted in relief in the upper right field. |
