The coin weighs 31.104 grams and has a diameter of 37 millimeters. It is struck with a "Proof" (BE) quality, indicating particular attention to detail and a careful finish.
The obverse design depicts the portraits of Alexander I and Francis I facing Napoleon, the latter being depicted victorious, on horseback, appearing at dawn on the battlefield of Austerlitz. In the foreground, Napoleon's legions are depicted in formation, marching in step towards the battlefield.
The reverse of the coin is inspired by the original medal struck in 1806 to commemorate Napoleon's victory at Austerlitz. The central motif depicts a winged scepter surmounted by a statuette of Charlemagne and accompanied by thunderbolts. This composition refers to the ancient imperial imagery associated with Napoleon I.
