| Obverse description | The 300th anniversary commemorative logo dominates the field, featuring the large numeral '300' with the Rimouski municipal coat of arms — bearing a double-headed eagle — incorporated within the numeral's zero. The legend '300 ANS' appears in bold relief beneath the numerals, with 'RIMOUSKI' inscribed in a recessed rectangular cartouche below. The date range '1696 - 1996' arcs along the upper field, and the lower field bears the inscriptions 'VALEUR DE $5.' and 'du 5 au 14 juillet' in smaller characters, indicating the token's face value and the festival period during which it was valid. |

| Reverse description | A detailed panoramic cityscape of historic Rimouski occupies the entire field, depicting a prominent Roman Catholic church with a tall, slender steeple at centre, flanked by historic stone and timber-framed buildings of varying heights representative of the town's early architectural heritage. A gently rising mountain range forms the background horizon behind the urban scene. The foreground suggests a waterfront or embankment, with the reflection of the buildings lightly rendered below the baseline. No legends or inscriptions appear on this face; the design is executed in a fine engraved linear style. |
