| Obverse description | Central field features a detailed depiction of the monumental gateway known as the Puerta de la Catedral or a historic arched portal of Murcia, flanked by two standing figures atop decorative pilasters, with a heraldic coat of arms displayed above the archway. The gateway arch is rendered in fine relief, conveying the architectural character of the region. The date 1999 appears vertically along the left border of the field, while the legend ESPAÑA is inscribed vertically along the right border. The overall composition reflects the regional commemorative theme of the Spanish autonomous community series. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a large numeral '5' prominently displayed in the upper left of the field, below which the denomination inscription 'PTAS' appears, followed by the mint mark 'M' (crowned, denoting the Royal Mint of Madrid) and the regional name 'MURCIA' along the lower arc. The right portion of the field is dominated by a stylised close-up relief of a Roman aqueduct or arched vaulting, rendered with expressive, mosaic-like texture suggesting ancient stonework. The design effectively balances typographic elements on the left with the architectural motif on the right. |
