| Obverse description | An Iberian lynx (Lynx pardinus) depicted in full body profile, recumbent atop a naturalistically rendered rocky outcrop that occupies the lower two-thirds of the field. The animal faces left with alert posture, its characteristic tufted ears and spotted coat rendered in fine relief. The Portuguese coat of arms appears in the upper right field, flanked by the curved legend 'Portugal 2016' along the upper rim. The denomination '5 €' is inscribed in large numerals to the right of centre. The engraver's signature 'INCM L Valadares' appears along the lower rim. |

| Reverse description | A highly detailed close-up portrait of an Iberian lynx (Lynx pardinus) fills virtually the entire field, depicted facing the viewer in a frontal composition with striking naturalistic detail. The animal's characteristic facial ruff, prominent whiskers, piercing eyes, and tufted ears are rendered with exceptional sculptural precision in high relief. The word 'Lince' appears in curved lettering along the upper rim, and 'Ibérico' is inscribed vertically along the right side of the field, together forming the species' common name in Portuguese. |
