| Obverse description | The Haitian national coat of arms occupies the central field, depicting a royal palm tree surmounted by a Phrygian cap, flanked symmetrically by an array of military trophies including cannons, flags, anchors, and drums arranged on a verdant ground. The entire central device is enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The legend REPUBLIQUE D'HAITI arcs across the upper periphery, while CINQ CENTIMES runs along the lower periphery, both separated by five-pointed stars at the sides. The design is framed by a continuous beaded border set within the milled rim. |

| Reverse description | A bare-headed, unadorned left-facing bust of President Fabre Geffrard is rendered in high relief at the center of the field, his hair styled in natural wavy locks and his truncation plain. The bust is enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The legend GEFFRARD PRESIDENT arcs around the upper portion of the periphery, with a five-pointed star appearing at each lateral extremity. The date 1863 is positioned prominently in the lower field below the bust, with the mint name HEATON inscribed in small letters at the truncation of the bust. A continuous beaded border rings the entire design. |
