| Obverse description | The Czechoslovak Socialist coat of arms (1961–1990 version), featuring a shield with a lion and the Kriváň mountain with a linden branch, occupies the central field. The year of mintage appears below the arms in the lower field. A continuous circular legend surrounding the central device reads the full official name of the state. The design is executed in a clean, engraved style characteristic of mid-twentieth-century Central European coinage. |

| Reverse description | The denomination numeral '5' appears prominently in the upper field, accompanied by the currency abbreviation 'Kčs' to its left. The central and lower fields feature an abstract decorative composition incorporating a stylized floral motif with cranes in flight, a design created by engraver Jiří Harcuba whose name appears as a signature in the field. A five-pointed star is present as an additional socialist emblem. The overall reverse design exemplifies the modernist artistic approach Harcuba brought to Czechoslovak coinage of the period. |
