To the left of the shield is the numeral 5, to the right the Latin letter 'T' – the artist's mark for Nora Tapper and a heraldic lion in a circle – the mintmark of the Finnish Mint. Along the upper edge arc is the year of issue '2014'. Below is the inscription in Finnish 'EURO' (Euro).

To the left near the rim is the artist's mark for Erkki Vainio – the Latin letter 'e'.
