| Obverse description | The field displays the issuer name 'الدولة الإسلامية' (Islamic State) as a legend at the top, with the denomination '٥ دنانير' (5 Dinars) in Arabic-Indic numerals at centre within a circular border. The weight '٢١,٢٥ غرام' (21.25 grams) appears to the right and the fineness '٢١ قيراط' (21 carats) to the left of the denomination. The motto 'خلافة على منهاج النبوة' (A caliphate upon the prophetic method) is inscribed along the lower portion. The entire design is rendered in Arabic calligraphic script and surrounded by a geometric star-pattern border in the tradition of early Islamic coinage. |

| Reverse description | The reverse field bears a Hadith inscription rendered in bold Arabic calligraphy, occupying the majority of the central field within a geometric star-pattern border matching the obverse surround. The Hijri year '١٤٣٧' (1437 AH) is inscribed in Arabic-Indic numerals at the base of the field below the main text. The overall design follows the aesthetic conventions of early Abbasid and Umayyad gold dinars, with purely epigraphic decoration and no figural imagery. |
