| Obverse description | Central field displays the denomination '5.' above 'PESETAS' in large raised lettering, all enclosed within an elegant wreath composed of stylized floral and foliate sprigs with bell-shaped blossoms tied at the base with a small spray. The circumferential legend 'EN BARCELONA' arcs around the upper and left periphery, flanked by small rosette stops, with the date 1813 positioned in the exergue at the bottom. The entire design is bordered by a fine milled or toothed rim. |

| Reverse description | Central device features the lozenge-shaped arms of Barcelona — a diamond-oriented shield bearing the characteristic quarterly design with vertical lines — bordered by a dotted inner frame and set within a plain field. The shield is encircled by a large, finely detailed wreath of oak branches bearing acorns, forming a full wreath that nearly fills the coin's field, all contained within a milled border. |
