| Beschrijving keerzijde | At centre, the celebrated Ephebe of Agrigento is depicted in finely engraved relief, widely regarded as one of the supreme masterpieces of ancient Greek sculpture. In the lower left field, a small ancient coin of Akragas bearing the image of a crab is shown, evoking the numismatic heritage of the city in antiquity. The mint mark R, denoting the Rome Mint, appears at the upper left, while the denomination 5 EURO is inscribed to the right. Arching across the upper and lower portions of the field, the legends AGRIGENTO 2025 and CAPITALE ITALIANA DELLA CULTURA identify the honoured city, the year of issue, and its distinction as Italian Capital of Culture. |

Agrigento's designation as Italy's Capital of Culture for 2025 came with some controversy — the city has long struggled with infrastructure deficits and bureaucratic delays that critics argued undermined the credibility of the selection. The Italian government has used the annual Capital of Culture program since 2015 partly as a mechanism to direct funding toward regions that would not otherwise attract cultural investment, making southern Sicilian cities like Agrigento recurring candidates.
The copper composition places this squarely in the collectible rather than circulating category, a format the Zecca has leaned on heavily for commemorative five-euro issues throughout the 2020s.
