| Obverse description | Central field features a lateen-rigged sailing vessel navigating stylized waves, rendered in low relief with a radiant sun rising behind the sail to the upper left. The composition evokes regional maritime and commercial imagery associated with southwestern France. A circular legend in raised Latin lettering reads UNION LATINE at the top and COMITE DU SUD-OUEST along the lower periphery, separated by the design elements. The overall style is characteristic of early 20th-century French emergency coinage engraving. |

| Reverse description | The central field displays the large numeral '5' denoting the face value of five centimes, flanked by the initials 'B.F.' to the left and 'C.' to the right, with the date 1922 positioned above and 1927 below the numeral. A circular peripheral legend in raised Latin lettering reads DEPARTEMENT DE LA HTE-GARONNE along the upper arc, with TOULOUSE appearing along the lower arc. The overall layout is clean and typographic, consistent with utilitarian emergency token coinage of the interwar period. |
