| Reverse description | An allegorical composition celebrating human technological progress fills the field. At centre, a circular cartouche bears the denomination legend L. 5000 in bold relief. Surrounding it are symbolic motifs representing different eras of civilisation and discovery: a large ship's helm in the upper right, a spoked wheel at the left, floral ornaments in the lower left, and a modern satellite dish in the lower centre. Stylised stars are scattered across the right field, while flowing decorative scrollwork frames the upper portion of the design. The Rome Mint mark R appears in the lower left field. |
