| Obverse description | Central device depicting two crossed mining tools — a hammer and a pick — surmounted by the Norwegian royal crown with orb and cross finial, all within a raised border. The circular legend reads 'DEN KONGELIGE MYNT' at the top and 'NORGE' at the bottom, separated by raised dots, rendered in Latin script. The design commemorates the 300th anniversary of the Royal Norwegian Mint at Kongsberg, with the mining implements referencing the silver-mining heritage of the region. |

| Reverse description | Stylized double-headed effigy in the manner of the Roman god Janus, presented as two facing profiles conjoined at the back of the head, rendered in a bold, modernist relief style. The denomination '5 KRONER' appears in the lower legend, flanked by raised dots, while the upper legend reads 'KONGSBERG' with the founding and anniversary years '1686' and '1986' flanking the central device on either side. The engraver's initials 'K H' accompanied by a small crossed-hammers mint mark appear in the lower field below the Janus figures. |
