Surrounding the numeral, an Arabic legend reading 'الجمهورية الجزائرية الديمقراطية الشعبية' (The People's Democratic Republic of Algeria) runs along the upper periphery, while the denomination in Arabic words 'خمسة سنتيمات' (Five Centimes) is inscribed along the lower periphery. The design is simple and functional, with the inscriptions arranged within a plain circular border. |

| Reverse description | Central medallion enclosed within a circular border displays the two dates '1974' and '1977', denoting the span of Algeria's Four-Year Development Plan. To the left of the medallion, a stylised cog wheel segment symbolises industry, while to the right a torch entwined with a wheat ear and olive branch evokes agricultural and national progress. These emblems are characteristic of FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization) coinage themes promoting development and food production. |
