| Obverse description | The obverse features a left-facing mouflon (Ovis orientalis ophion), the indigenous wild sheep of Cyprus and a national symbol of the island's fauna, depicted in full relief at the center of the field. The animal's distinctive curved horns are prominently rendered, lending a naturalistic character to the design. The bilingual legend ΚΥΠΡΟΣ·KIBRIS, denoting Cyprus in Greek and Turkish respectively, flanks the design, with the year of issue below. The composition reflects Cyprus's cultural duality and commitment to representing its native wildlife on its coinage. |

The large numeral '5' appears to the left of the globe, while the inscription EURO CENT is positioned to the right. The designer's initials 'LL' are present in the lower portion of the field. Twelve stars, representing the member states of the European Union, encircle the outer ring of the coin. |
