| Obverse description | The copper-nickel centre features the denomination '5' at right with the legend 'EURO' to its left, flanked above by a sprig of olive and below by a branch of oak, both rendered in fine relief. The circular legend 'RÉPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE' arcs around the periphery of the inner disc, reading from upper left to lower right. The date '2025' appears vertically on the zinc outer ring at the right, while the ring itself is decorated with an incuse geometric lattice pattern of intersecting diagonal lines. Mint marks appear discreetly within the inner field. The overall design draws on the classical French republican iconographic tradition. |

| Additional information |
Issued under the Monnaie de Paris' ongoing "Animaux de France" circulation-commemorative program, this piece belongs to a series that has quietly become one of the more successful French mass-market collector issues of the 2020s. The zinc outer ring is an unusual production choice for a commemorative of this price point — zinc corrodes predictably in circulation, which suggests these were never seriously intended as pocket change.
