| Obverse description | A full-length allegorical figure of Italia, derived from Cesare Ripa's Iconologia, is depicted facing the viewer, enthroned and robed in a wide mantle, wearing a towered mural crown surmounted by the Star of Italy. She holds an upright scepter in her right hand and a cornucopia in her left. The throne and central figure are encircled by a decorative band bearing the heraldic arms of all the regions of present-day Italy. The engraver's signature L. DE SIMONI appears below the throne. |

| Reverse description | The coat of arms of the Italian Republic — comprising a five-pointed star superimposed on a toothed gear wheel, flanked by branches of olive and oak tied with a red ribbon — occupies the central field. The commemorative years 1946 and 2006 flank the arms to either side, marking the 60th anniversary of the Republic. The legend REPUBBLICA ITALIANA arcs across the upper field, the mint mark R appears in the lower field, and the denomination EURO 5 is inscribed at the base. |
