| Obverse description | The brass centre features a detailed depiction of the Brian Boru Harp, Ireland's national symbol, rendered in high relief against a textured field. The legend IRLAND, ÉIRE, and IRELAND arcs around the copper-nickel outer ring, distributed at left, top, and right respectively. The inscription BRIAN BORU HARP appears vertically in the left portion of the central field, alongside the harp motif. The denomination 5 ECU is inscribed along the lower arc of the outer ring. The bimetallic construction creates a strong visual contrast between the golden brass centre and the silver-toned ring. |

| Reverse description | The brass centre presents a forward-facing draped bust of Saint Patrick, depicted wearing episcopal vestments and a mitre, rendered in bold relief against a plain field with a halo-like circular boundary. The legend PÁDRAIG ST. PATRICK arcs across the upper portion of the copper-nickel outer ring in a distinctive Gothic-style script. The date 1995 is inscribed along the lower arc of the outer ring in serif numerals. The effigy conveys a solemn, hieratic character consistent with hagiographic portraiture. The bimetallic format accentuates the central devotional image against the silver-toned ring. |
