| Obverse description | The obverse features a stylised, geometrically rendered portrait of Grand Duke Henri occupying the right half of the field, executed in a modern artistic style. To the left of the effigy, the legend reads 'LËTZEBUERG' above the date '2012', both inscribed in clean, upright Latin characters. The design is the work of engraver Yvette Gastauer-Claire and reflects a contemporary approach to royal portraiture on collector coinage. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts three blooms of the Late Spider Orchid (Ophrys fuciflora) rendered in high relief across the golden nordic gold centre, showcasing the characteristic rounded sepals and intricate labellum of this rare wild orchid species. A tall stem with a narrow leaf extends diagonally across the upper field, lending botanical accuracy to the composition. The denomination '5' appears prominently to the right within the centre, accompanied by the currency inscription 'EURO' below it with the euro symbol integrated. The legend 'OPHRYS FUCIFLORA' arcs along the upper rim of the outer silver ring in bold Latin capitals. |
