| Obverse description | Central raised device depicting a traditional Maltese sailing vessel underway on stylized waves, with a radiant sun in the upper right field and a female figure at the stern rendered in low relief. The design is set within a recessed inner circle, creating a two-plane composition with a polished outer border. The Maltese legend REPUBBLIKA TA' MALTA curves along the upper periphery, while the date 1985 appears at the bottom between two raised dots. |

| Reverse description | A detailed and finely engraved representation of the Maltese three-masted sailing brigantine Maria Dacoutros (built 1902) dominates the field, rendered under full sail on a lightly stylized sea, set against a background of engraved navigational grid lines evoking a nautical chart. In the lower left field, a ship's wheel motif accompanies the three-line legend MALTESE MARITIME HISTORY; to the right, the ship's name MARIA DACOUTROS and her launch year 1902 are inscribed. The denomination Lm 5 appears in the lower centre of the field, with the engraver's initials NG visible in the lower right area near the waterline. |
