| Obverse description | Central design depicts a stylized group of five figures performing the Sardana, the traditional Catalan circle dance, their raised and joined arms rendered in a highly schematic manner. Below the dancers, a rectangular panel of vertical stripes evokes the Catalan flag (Senyera). Twelve five-pointed stars, referencing the European Union, are arranged in an arc along the lower portion of the field. The legend CATALUNYA arcs along the upper left rim, with the date 1994 inscribed vertically to the right, and the denomination 5 ECU positioned vertically along the left field. |
