| Reverse description | The central field features a bold saltire — two broad diagonal bars crossing at center — rendered in high relief against a recessed background, evoking the crossed symbol associated with Lega Nord imagery. A curved ribbon or interlace element is superimposed at the crossing point of the bars. The numeral 5 appears in the upper field above the saltire, with the denomination LEGHE inscribed in large raised letters along the lower arc. The date 1992 is placed in the exergue, flanked on both sides by a border of evenly spaced raised dots. |

| Additional information |
The "Repubblica del Nord" was a secessionist political movement in northern Italy that gained traction in the early 1990s alongside the rise of the Lega Nord party. This brass piece was produced as a propaganda token rather than an officially sanctioned currency — no such issuing authority existed in law. It circulated as a political statement during a period when the Italian state was being gutted by the Tangentopoli corruption investigations, and northern separatist sentiment was at its peak electoral pressure.
