In the central part is a double-headed eagle with outstretched wings; the eagle's heads are haloed, with a crown above them. In its right talon, the eagle holds a sword and scepter; in its left, an orb. On its breast is a crowned heraldic shield depicting the coats of arms of Austria and Lorraine, encircled by a chain. Below, in a cartouche, is the number 5. The cartouche is flanked on the right by a palm branch and on the left by a laurel branch. Along the edge of the coin are Latin inscriptions in an arc: on the right and left 'ARCH∙AVST∙D∙BVRG∙LOTH∙M∙D∙HET∙1790∙' (Archduke of Austria, Duke of Burgundy, Lorraine, Grand Duke of Tuscany 1790). At the end of the legend is a mark in the shape of the Latin letter 'X'. The edge is decorated with decorative denticles.
