| Obverse description | Central numeral '5' in large format occupies the field, flanked by a star on each side. A circular Arabic legend reading 'Bank of Algeria' (بنك الجزائر) surrounds the central device, with the denomination '5 Dinars' (دنانير 5) inscribed below. The design incorporates a decorative motif inspired by a funerary furniture element associated with the Numidian king Massinissa, lending the coin a distinct historical and cultural reference. |
