| Reverse description | The central field depicts the official logo of Rare Disease Day, instituted in 2008, featuring a composition of hands cradling a central human silhouette, symbolizing solidarity with individuals affected by rare diseases. The date 29 FEBBRAIO 2024 arcs across the upper portion of the legend, while the inscription GIORNATA DELLE MALATTIE RARE curves along the lower periphery. The denomination 5 EURO appears in the lower central field, accompanied by the engraver's signature MOMONI. The Rome Mint mark R is positioned to the upper right of the central design. |

| Additional information |
Italy's 5 euro silver commemorative program has issued awareness coins for medical causes before, but the Federation for Rare Diseases (FIMR — Federazione Italiana Malattie Rare) represents a constituency affecting roughly 2 million Italians, a population large enough to carry political weight despite the "rare" designation applied to any condition affecting fewer than 5 in 10,000 people individually.
The IPZS struck this in sterling-adjacent .925 silver, the same alloy used across recent issues in the series.
