| Reverse description | The reverse displays the large numeral '5' occupying the left-center of the field, accompanied by the denomination inscription 'CENT' to the upper right. A small shield bearing a cross fleury — a secondary heraldic device associated with Montenegrin imagery — appears to the right of the numeral, surmounted by a sceptre. Diagonal line engraving fills the lower field in the style of standard euro cent reverses. Twelve five-pointed stars encircle the design along the rim, and the legend 'PROVE PROVA PROBE TEST ESSAI' arcs along the upper inner border. |

| Additional information |
Montenegro used euroized its economy unilaterally in 2002, adopting the euro without any agreement with the European Central Bank or EU membership. That status meant it could circulate genuine euro coins from other member states but could not legally issue its own. These 2005 pieces were struck as collector or pattern issues — they have no legal tender status anywhere and were never authorized for circulation.
