The composition is dominated by a large portrait of Huybrechts to the right, the author of the medal, wife of the celebrant Monique, a royal crown with initials PH. On the right side, a band is playing, under which the Belgian lion is turning out. In the lower part, an ancient rowboat with female figures from all over the world sails in front of the globe, pointing to Huybrechts' passion for travel. A small portrait in the left part forms a dial, another portrait in the right part forms a stamp with a denomination of 50, referring to Huybrechts' activity as an engraver of dials and stamps. In the lower part of the medal under the rowboat is the Kremnica Mint mark, the author's signature 2000 is engraved on the sail of a small boat. The medal took part in the XXVIII. of the world medalist congress FIDEM 2002, Paris, France.
