| 表面の説明 | The national coat of arms of Trinidad and Tobago occupies the central field, featuring a shield divided into three sections and supported by two Scarlet Ibises with wings displayed. The crest above the shield consists of a ship's wheel surmounted by a helmet and a star, with palm fronds flanking the helm. A scroll at the base bears the national motto 'TOGETHER WE ASPIRE TOGETHER WE ACHIEVE'. The circular legend 'REPUBLIC OF TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO' arcs around the upper periphery, with the date '1999' placed in the lower field beneath the arms. |

Tropical foliage with stylised leaves occupies the right field behind the bird. The large numeral '5' is boldly inscribed to the left of the bird in the mid-field, and the denomination legend 'DOLLARS' is engraved in capital letters along the lower portion of the field beneath the branch. |

Trinidad and Tobago's bimetallic and base-metal coinage underwent a quiet but deliberate redesign program in the 1990s as the country worked to reduce dependence on high-denomination banknotes for everyday transactions. The copper-nickel $5 coin was part of that push, intended to absorb routine commercial use and reduce note wear costs for the Central Bank.
KM#35a.1 distinguishes this variety from the later .2 subtype — a detail worth confirming against the edge reeding count before cataloging duplicates.
