On the Obverse, in the centre of the coin, is the coat of arms of the region, depicting a bear standing on its hind legs, with its claws in evidence and a collar, all surmounted by a crown. The coat of arms is held up, on the left, by a male figure wearing a breastplate and holding a sword in his right hand and, on the right, by a female figure holding an anchor in her left hand; the two figures are also facing each other. The entire design is bordered, in the lower part, by a ribbon engraved with the Latin inscription "PATRIA UNA" (One Homeland).
