Obverse: official emblem of the Carabinieri Monetary Anti-Counterfeiting Command inspired by the graphic element which is most representative of the Carabinieri Corps: on a detail from a bimetallic euro coin, reproduction of the 13-pointed flame originating from the euro symbol that here replaces the characteristic grenade. Around, the inscription “REPUBBLICA ITALIANA” and the cartouche with the inscription “COMANDO CARABINIERI ANTIFALSIFICAZIONE MONETARIA”. Reverse: a specialist of the Carabinieri Monetary Anti-Counterfeiting Command wearing his typical lab coat with a braid on the epaulette is depicted from behind in the act of analysing a banknote under a microscope. On the right, the name of the designer “A. VECCHIO”; below, the value “5 EURO”, “2022”, the year of the coin’s issue, and “R”, identifying the Mint of Rome; around, the inscription “COMANDO CARABINIERI ANTIFALSIFICAZIONE MONETARIA”, flanked by two stars.
