| Obverse description | Within a beaded circle, two crossed palm branches tied at the base by a ribbon, which also bisects the date 1736 into two numerals on either side. At the center, the crowned royal monogram 'TR' (for Théodore Rex) is prominently displayed in the field. The word COPIE appears above, identifying this piece as a replica of the original 1736 issue. The overall design is simple and heraldic in character, consistent with the emergency coinage style of the short-lived Kingdom of Corsica. |

| Reverse description | Within a double beaded circle, a circular Latin legend surrounds a two-line central inscription denoting the coin's denomination. The central field reads SOLDI / CINQE (five soldi) in two lines, while the peripheral legend PRO BONO PVR REGNI CO. references the public good of the kingdom, consistent with the nationalist coinage ideology of Théodore von Neuhoff's Corsican kingdom. The lettering is rendered in a simple upright Roman style typical of mid-18th-century Mediterranean minor coinage. |
