Obverse description A large boat anchor overlaid with the hull and rigging of a sloop occupies the central field, rendered in fine relief. The composition is framed by a wreath of laurel branches tied at the base, with the sprays extending symmetrically along the inner edge of the coin. The overall design evokes maritime heritage and is executed in a detailed, sculptural style consistent with pattern coinage.

Reverse description A stylised human head faces the viewer, rendered with pronounced radiate lines emanating outward from the effigy to fill the entire field, creating a bold sunburst or rayed effect. The numeral '5' appears as the denomination, partially integrated within the left portion of the design. The composition is strikingly graphic and modernist in character, consistent with experimental or pattern coinage aesthetics.
