| Obverse description | The obverse features a dynamic, stylised composition evoking the atmosphere of an ice hockey arena. In the upper portion of the field, a densely packed crowd of spectators is rendered in low relief, with Finnish flags visible among the throng. Curved lines suggestive of ice rink markings sweep across the lower field, leading to the large denomination numeral '5' and the legend 'EURO' positioned prominently in the lower centre. The country name 'SUOMI FINLAND' appears in bold incuse lettering across the middle of the field, with the date '2016' and the designer's initial 'T' below, accompanied by the mint mark of the Mint of Finland. |

| Reverse description | The reverse, struck in the darker nickel-brass clad nickel centre, depicts two ice hockey players in full equipment engaged in an intense face-off or puck battle at close quarters. Both figures are rendered in bold, dynamic relief, each grasping a hockey stick directed toward a puck visible in the lower field. The composition captures the physical immediacy and tension of the sport, with the players' protective gear and postures faithfully represented. The aluminium bronze outer ring frames the scene and carries partial lettering visible at the upper margin. |
