| Obverse description | The German Federal Eagle, emblem of the Federal Republic of Germany, occupies the upper central field. The face value '5 DEUTSCHE MARK' appears below the eagle, flanked by the Stuttgart mint mark 'F' to the left and the date '1985' to the right. The legend 'BUNDESREPUBLIK DEUTSCHLAND' arcs around the upper periphery. The design is rendered in a clean, modern style characteristic of mid-twentieth-century German coinage. |

| Reverse description | The central device features the official emblem designed by Celestino Piatti for the 1985 European Year of Music, depicting a stylized treble clef and lyre motif enclosed within a circular arc of twelve stars, symbolising European unity. To the right of the central emblem, two large musical notes are prominently displayed in the field. The legend '1985 EUROPÄISCHES JAHR DER MUSIK' is inscribed across the upper portion of the reverse in bold Latin lettering. The overall composition reflects a graphic, modernist aesthetic befitting the commemorative theme. |
