| Obverse description | The obverse features the allegorical figure of La Semeuse (The Sower) in the foreground, depicted striding with her hair windswept and escaping from a Phrygian cap, bearing a seed bag slung over her right shoulder. Rays of the rising sun radiate across the background field, illuminating the sower in the traditional Republican tradition established by Louis-Oscar Roty. The date 2008 and the national monogram RF (République Française) appear in the field to the right of the figure. The engraver's signature and personal logo of Joaquin Jimenez are inscribed to the right of the design. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays the face value 5 EURO at centre, flanked symmetrically by two branches — one of oak and one of laurel — forming a wreath that subtly evokes the Euro symbol. Encircling the composition is the national motto LIBERTÉ ÉGALITÉ FRATERNITÉ rendered in raised Latin lettering along the periphery. A stylised outline of the French hexagon (metropolitan France) is incorporated into the design, affirming national identity within the broader European monetary framework. |
