| Reverse description | A highly detailed depiction of the famous Casas Colgadas (Hanging Houses) of Cuenca fills the right and centre of the field, rendered in fine relief showing the multi-storey medieval timber-framed structures cantilevered dramatically over the rocky cliff face of the Huécar gorge. The denomination numeral 5 and the inscription EURO appear in large characters to the left of the architectural scene. The legend CASAS COLGADAS is inscribed along the upper border in small capitals. A beaded border frames the entire composition. |

| Additional information |
Cuenca joined the UNESCO World Heritage list in 1996, recognized jointly for its medieval walled city and the surrounding landscape — but this coin was issued as part of Spain's broader provincial capital series, not directly tied to any UNESCO anniversary. The series ran sporadically through the early 2010s as Spain's economy contracted sharply; silver commemorative programs were one of the few revenue streams the Real Casa de la Moneda could sustain without large mintage commitments.
