| Obverse description | The arms of San Marino occupy the central field: a heart-shaped shield bearing three towers on a rocky mount, surmounted by an open mural crown with a cross finial, and flanked by an olive branch to the left and an oak branch to the right. The motto LIBERTAS appears on a ribbon below the shield. The circular legend REPUBBLICA DI SAN MARINO arcs around the upper periphery, while the date 1999 is inscribed in the lower field. The engraver's signature BINO BINI appears at the lower right. |

| Reverse description | A faithful numismatic rendering of Sandro Botticelli's celebrated Renaissance masterpiece occupies the right portion of the field: the goddess Venus stands in contrapposto atop an open scallop shell rising from stylized waves, her flowing hair streaming to the right, rendered in fine relief with exceptional detail. The denomination 5 SCUDI is boldly inscribed to the left of the figure, with the mint mark R positioned to the lower right of the denomination. The circular legend NASCITA DI VENERE arcs around the upper periphery. The modeler's and engraver's credits A. RUGGERI MOD. and MNURI INC. appear in small lettering in the lower field. |
