| Obverse description | Central device depicts a stylised lion passant guardant clutching a bundle of arrows, emblematic of the Septinsular Republic, set within a beaded inner circle. The lion is rendered in a bold, folk-engraving style typical of early 19th-century Greek coinage. A circular legend in Greek script surrounds the central device, reading ΕΠΤΑΝΗΣΟΣ ΠΟΛΙΤΕΙΑ (Septinsular State), separated by a dot stop. The overall design is contained within a plain raised rim. |

| Reverse description | The denomination numeral '5' appears prominently at the top of the field, flanked by dot stops, above the Greek legend ΓΑΖΕΤΑΙΣ denoting the currency unit, with the date 1801 inscribed below, all set within a beaded inner border. The legends are rendered in bold incuse-style Greek characters with a dashed or chain-pattern outer border framing the entire reverse design. The composition is straightforward and utilitarian, consistent with the small copper coinage of the Septinsular Republic. The reverse field is plain and unadorned beyond the inscriptions. |
