| Obverse description | The obverse features a schematic representation of the deuterium-tritium nuclear fusion reaction, rendered in relief against the field. Silver-finished hollows denote neutrons, while gold-plated beads represent protons, together composing the nuclei of two hydrogen isotopes merging into a helium nucleus with the release of a free neutron. The central aperture of the coin symbolises the locus of the fusion reaction itself. The denomination legend '5 EURO' appears in the right portion of the field. |

| Additional information |
Latvia's "Energy" coin is part of a long-running Latvian collector series exploring scientific and natural phenomena. The gold-plated elements are applied selectively to distinguish specific design zones — a technique the Latvijas Banka has used across several issues in this thematic program to add dimensional contrast without full bimetal construction.
