The Design: Features an open book inscribed with a famous quote by Jakob Hurt, the society's first president: "Kui me ei saa suureks rahvaarvult, peame saama suureks vaimult" ("If we cannot be a great nation in number, we must be great in spirit").
Inscriptions: The top margin reads 150 EESTI KIRJAMEESTE SELTS 2022, and the founding year 1872 appears just beneath the issue year.
