| Obverse description | The right-facing diademed and draped effigy of Queen Elizabeth II occupies the upper right quadrant of the design, set against a polished black field, with the designer's initials IRB below the portrait truncation. The surrounding field features a textured brick wall motif divided into quadrants, flanked on either side by pairs of Latin crosses in graduated sizes. The denomination '5 DOLLARS' appears vertically at left, the date '2022' vertically at right, and the year '1942' is rendered in large numerals along the lower arc, with a cross substituting for the central digit. The legend 'OPERACE ANTHROPOID' curves along the upper border in bold relief lettering. The Czech Mint mark appears at lower left of the portrait quadrant. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly detailed high-relief scene commemorating the 1942 assassination attempt on Reinhard Heydrich in Prague. At centre, a Mercedes-Benz open-top staff car — bearing the licence plate '44-3' — is depicted at the moment of the attack, with a grenade explosion rendered in dramatic textured relief erupting from the left side of the vehicle. Two uniformed figures are visible within or beside the car. The legend 'ATENTÁT NA HEYDRICHA' curves along the upper border, and the city name 'PRAHA' is rendered in bold blackened block letters across the lower field, with the letter 'A' in the centre incorporating a cross motif. The background field features a rough stone texture contrasting with the polished black enamel inlay of the lettering. |
