| Obverse description | The obverse features a stylized abstract design divided into two semicircular fields, evoking a yin-yang motif. The upper semicircle displays the UNESCO logo — a stylized temple or colosseum rendered in dotted outline — with the inscription 'UNESCO' across its center. The lower semicircle bears the Madrid mint mark alongside a circular coin-within-coin emblem and a large numeral '5', all rendered in a modernist graphic style. The circular legend 'JUAN CARLOS I REY DE ESPAÑA' arcs around the upper periphery, while the date '1996' appears in the lower exergual area between two dots. |
