| Obverse description | Central device depicts a rearing horse with a mounted rider in traditional costume, evoking the iconic equestrian figures of the Menorcan popular festivals known as 'jaleo'. The horse is shown in a full levade posture, occupying the right and upper portions of the field, rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished proof background. To the left of the central device, the denomination '5 ECU' is inscribed in two lines in a bold sans-serif typeface. At the lower left of the field, a three-line legend reads 'RESERVA DE LA BIOSFERA MENORCA', with 'MENORCA' prominently displayed in larger lettering. |
