Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris is a Gothic cathedral in the heart of the French capital, on the Île de la Cité. Built in the 12th century, its stained glass windows, gargoyles and flying buttresses have inspired many literary works such as Victor Hugo's novel. In April 2019, a violent fire ravaged a significant part of its structure, including its spire and roof. Restoration work then quickly began, in order to rebuild the monument identically.
On the front, in the foreground, a stonemason from the medieval period symbolizing the craftsmen who built the cathedral. In the background, the left part of the cathedral in detailed view and the right part, as well as the spire, in schematic outline of the structure to evoke its construction/reconstruction.
The reverse is common to all coins in the UNESCO series of this year 2025. It represents the terrestrial globe with the parallels and meridians on the left side and the inscriptions of major sites classified as UNESCO World Heritage on the right side. These inscriptions are as if engraved in stone, which echoes the Rosetta Stone. The left side of the globe is surrounded by the UNESCO logo as well as the marking "World Heritage". The face value is inscribed on the left side of the globe, blending perfectly with the parallels and meridians.

The wheel of the zodiac signs is engraved on the coin's gold-colored crown. One sign stands out from the background because it is larger than the others and has a sandblasted background, different from the smoother one of the others. It is the symbol of the Taurus. A pattern of leaves, mushrooms and crystals, reminiscent of the sign's element, earth, surrounds the imposing bust of a bull. The animal's horns and forehead are adorned with arabesques. The starry sky in the background features the Taurus constellation.

The European pond turtle (Emys orbicularis) is an aquatic turtle species. Native to Slovakia, the pond turtle was once widespread throughout the south of the country, but today its strongest populations are found in the Eastern Slovak Lowland and the Danubian Lowland. It is a protected reptile species that can live for more than 100 years. The pond turtle inhabits still or slowly flowing waters with muddy bottoms and rich vegetation, such as oxbow lakes, canals, ponds, lakes, and marshes. It is an excellent swimmer and diver and often basks in the sun on banks, tree trunks, or stones. Sandy areas are essential for egg laying. After overwintering, the hatchlings dig their way out and move to the water. Adults hibernate underwater, buried in mud. The pond turtle’s diet consists mainly of aquatic invertebrates, but it also feeds on frogs, tadpoles, fish, algae, and plants. Appropriate measures to support its conservation include the restoration of wetlands and nesting sites in their surroundings, as well as preventing the release of non-native invasive turtle species into the wild.
Obverse:
The obverse depicts a European pond turtle (Emys orbicularis) in its natural habitat. The bottom of the field features a white water lily rendered in colour. Above the turtle is the Slovak coat of arms, and below it, in the lower right, is the year of issuance ‘2026’. The name of the issuing country ‘SLOVENSKO’ is inscribed along the upper left edge.
Reverse:
The reverse design consists of two European pond turtles swimming in water. To their left are the coin’s denomination ‘5’ and currency ‘EURO’, one above the other. The inscription ‘KORYTNAČKA MOČIARNA’, the Slovak name of the European pond turtle, runs along the edge of the field from the upper left to the lower right, while the scientific name ‘EMYS ORBICULARIS’ is inscribed along the lower left edge. On the right side, among the bubbles between the turtles’ heads, are the stylised initials ‘KL’ of the coin’s designer, Karol Ličko, and the mint mark of the Kremnica Mint (Mincovňa Kremnica), consisting of the letters ‘MK’ between two dies.
