Obverse description The aluminium bronze centre features the Polish state emblem — a crowned white eagle with spread wings, displayed facing, rendered in high relief against a plain field. The date 2020 appears in the field below the eagle. The copper-nickel outer ring bears the legend RZECZPOSPOLITA POLSKA along the upper arc and · 5 ZŁOTYCH · along the lower arc, separated by raised dots at the sides. The mint mark (MW) is present in small characters beneath the eagle. The overall design follows the standard obverse type used across the Polish commemorative circulation series.

Reverse description The reverse depicts a detailed architectural view of the twin towers of St. Mary's Basilica (Kościół Mariacki) in Kraków, rendered across both the aluminium bronze centre and the copper-nickel outer ring, creating a striking bimetallic visual effect. The taller Gothic tower with its crown of turrets and the shorter octagonal tower are shown in bold relief, with fine linear engraving suggesting the surrounding cityscape in the background. The legend KOŚCIÓŁ MARIACKI arcs across the upper portion of the outer ring, while the NBP monogram of Narodowy Bank Polski appears in the lower field. The design is part of Poland's ongoing Monuments of Culture commemorative circulation series.
