| Obverse description | The Brazilian national arms occupy the central field, depicting a five-pointed star charged with the Southern Cross constellation within a blue celestial globe, encircled by a ring of 27 small stars representing the states and federal district. The armorial is flanked by branches of coffee and tobacco, symbolizing the nation's principal agricultural commodities. The legend 'REPUBLICA FEDERATIVA DO BRASIL' arcs along the upper periphery, with the proclamation date '15 de Novembro de 1889' inscribed below the arms. The overall design is executed in a clean, relief style consistent with late 20th-century Brazilian coinage. |

| Reverse description | The large numeral '5' dominates the central field, with the four-digit mintage year divided below it in the lower central area. The country name 'BRASIL' is inscribed as a legend arcing along the upper portion of the coin, while the currency denomination 'CRUZADOS' curves along the lower portion. A continuous border of raised dots frames the entire design, running parallel to the coin's rim and lending a decorative finish to the composition. |
