| Obverse description | Portrait bust of the celebrated Italian composer Ennio Morricone facing three-quarters to the right, rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field. The subject is depicted in a contemplative pose with one hand raised to his chin. The encircling legend REPUBBLICA ITALIANA runs along the outer ring, interrupted by a dot separator at top and bottom, with the engraver's name CASSOL inscribed on the inner ring. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a stylistic composition evoking Morricone's musical legacy: a conductor's baton is depicted in the upper field alongside a pair of expressive hands in the act of conducting or composing, set against a background of intersecting diagonal lines suggestive of musical staves or film reels. The denomination 5 EURO is inscribed in the upper centre of the inner field. The name ENNIO MORRICONE arcs along the outer ring at left, with the mint mark R and the date 2021 positioned at the lower right of the field. |
