Obverse description Central field displays the Bohemian lion rampant bearing the Slovak shield on its breast, rendered in larger proportions than the standard circulation strike, with correspondingly bolder lettering. The legend REPUBLIKA ČESKOSLOVENSKÁ arcs around the upper periphery, with the date 1925 placed in the lower exergual area. The overall design is distinguished from the regular issue by the increased scale of the lion motif and the heavier weight of both the lettering and numeral date, marking it as a trial or pattern variant.

Reverse description The reverse features a large, stylised numeral '5' dominating the central field, with the denomination inscription 'Kč' (Koruna československá) positioned to its upper right. Within and beside the numeral, an industrial factory complex is depicted, differing in architectural detail from the factory motif employed on the standard circulation strike, confirming this piece as a pattern or trial design. The composition is bold and modernist in character, consistent with the interwar Czechoslovak aesthetic.
