Obverse description	The obverse depicts a dynamic battle scene in raised relief showing soldiers of the First Philippine Republic engaged in combat, bearing rifles and a flag, rendered in a bold, heroic artistic style against a mirror-polished field. In the upper portion of the field, a colorized commemorative logo reads '125' incorporating the Philippine sunburst motif in blue, red, and gold enamel, flanking the numeral '5' in red to the right above the denomination 'PISO.' The legend 'REPUBLIKA NG PILIPINAS' arcs along the left and upper border. Along the lower exergue, a secondary inscription reads 'ANG HUKBO NG UNANG REPUBLIKA NG PILIPINAS LABAN SA AMERICA, 1899' followed by 'KALAYAAN, KINABUKASAN, KASAYSAYAN.'

Reverse description	The reverse features a complex geometric design composed of radiating diagonal bands in gold-colored enamel arranged in a triangular sunburst pattern against the coin's field, evoking the rays of the Philippine flag's sun. Concentric spiral bands of incuse Latin text encircle a central medallion bearing the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas eagle logo, with the date '2023' inscribed below the emblem. The spiraling text reproduces verses from the Philippine national anthem 'Lupang Hinirang' in Filipino. The legend '125TH ANNIVERSARY OF PHILIPPINE INDEPENDENCE AND NATIONHOOD' arcs along the upper border, while 'BANGKO SENTRAL NG PILIPINAS' appears along the lower rim.
