Reverse description Central raised circular cartouche bearing the denomination numeral '5' above the inscription 'SOKOLŮ' in bold relief. Surrounding the cartouche is a dynamic allegorical composition featuring four winged figures — falcons personified as athletic human forms with outstretched wings — arranged symmetrically in the field, conveying motion and the Sokol gymnastic movement's ideals of strength and freedom. The sculptural treatment is deeply modeled, consistent with Španiel's medallic style, with fine detail in the figures' musculature and feathered wings. The overall design fills the field with vigorous figurative imagery, leaving minimal flat ground.
