The central part features a stylized depiction of discussed issues and topics. At the bottom of the inner disc, the inscription in Finnish '5 EURO'. At the top right: outside the inner disc, the Latin letter 'M' - the mint master's mark of Raimo Tapio Makkonen; adjacent inside the disc, the artist's mark of Reijo Paavilainen - 'P'.

A raised rectangle is depicted in the center. On its surface, the country name 'Finland' is written vertically from bottom to top in Finnish 'SUOMI' and Swedish 'FINLAND'. On the sides, the letters 'ND' split the mint year '2006' into two parts: '20' on the left, '06' on the right. The inscription and year form a hammer shape. On both sides of the rectangle are dialogue boxes with speech lines, their 'tails' pointing in an arc towards the center. Along the edge of the coin in an arc at the top and bottom are six five-pointed stars.
