| Obverse description | A detailed rendering of an African elephant walking left occupies the central field, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The elephant is depicted with naturalistic detail, standing upon grassy ground with vegetation visible beneath. A five-pointed star appears in the lower field below the beaded circle. The peripheral legend 'REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA' arcs around the upper portion of the coin between the beaded circle and the milled rim. |

| Reverse description | The central device depicts a full-rigged sailing ship underway to the right, representing the vessel that brought freed American slaves to Liberia, with a dove in flight above and to the left of the ship's masts. A tall palm tree rises to the left of the scene, with a rising sun visible at the lower left, all set above a baseline suggestive of water. The date '1979' and denomination 'FIVE CENTS' appear in the lower field. The legend 'THE LOVE OF LIBERTY BROUGHT US HERE' arcs along the upper periphery, flanked by small five-pointed stars. |
