Depicts an abstract aerial perspective of a stadium, featuring the logos of the Hungarian Olympic Team and the Hungarian Paralympic Team positioned centrally. The stationary image is dynamically brought to life by lines radiating from the foreground and converging towards the center, symbolizing the presence of fans and, more broadly, the supportive professional and social community behind the athletes. Above, in a semicircular arrangement, the inscription "HUNGARIAN OLYMPIC AND PARALYMPIC TEAM" is visible, while below, the word "PARIS" signifies the global stage of the competitions.

Depicts a contemporary portrayal featuring four sports—hammer throw, canoeing, swimming, and para-table tennis—where the Hungarian teams are poised for the most medal opportunities. The abstract representations of these sports equally depict able-bodied and para-athletes, with equal emphasis on gender representation, reflecting the historic participation of an equal number of female and male athletes in these World Games for the first time. The horizontal lines, thickening towards the shapes, convey the dynamic nature of the sports while symbolizing the undulations of water.

The design includes customary elements of commemorative coins: the inscription "HUNGARY" in a semicircular script above and the year of minting, 2024, below. Nearly concealed within the medal's image, the "BP." mintmark is positioned on the left edge of the horizontal central axis, while the denomination and the inscription "FORINT" are displayed along the right edge. The privy mark of the engraver is visible near the canoe paddle on the far right.
