| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse features Gammur, the eagle — one of the four Landvættir (guardian spirits of Iceland) — rendered in a stylised, heraldic manner at the centre of the field. The design is executed in a bold, simplified artistic style characteristic of Icelandic coinage of the period. The circumferential legend reads FIMM AURAR ÍSLAND, with the date 1981 incorporated into the inscription along the lower periphery. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Iceland's small-denomination bronze coinage of this era was already an anachronism by the time this piece was struck. The 5 aurar had effectively lost all purchasing power through the chronic inflation that plagued Iceland in the late 1970s and early 1980s — inflation that peaked above 80% annually in 1983. The denomination was abolished shortly after, rendering late-date examples like this one among the final survivors of a coin that had long since ceased to function in everyday commerce.
