| Obverse description | Central field bears the Estonian national coat of arms: a shield charged with three passant blue lions arranged vertically, flanked on either side by oak branches with acorns rendered in high relief. The entire device is framed within a beaded inner border, with no surrounding legend on this face, giving the heraldic motif a bold and uncluttered presentation characteristic of early Estonian coinage. |

Estonia's 1926 5 Marka was struck during the country's first period of full monetary independence, after the Estonian mark had replaced wartime German occupation currency. The Bank of Estonia managed the transition carefully, but the mark itself was already living on borrowed time — the kroon would replace it entirely in 1928, making this issue one of the final mark-denominated coins produced for circulation.
