| Reverse description | Central round hole surrounded by a stylised design of three elongated elephant tusks arranged in a radiating, interlocking pattern around the perforation, a motif emblematic of East Africa's ivory trade heritage. The numeral 5 appears in the upper field above the hole. The legend EAST AFRICA curves along the upper periphery, with small lozenge stops flanking the lower field. The date of issue is inscribed in the lower exergue. A milled border encircles the entire reverse. |
