| Obverse description | Central field features the large numeral '5' flanked on either side by two decorative rosette ornaments. Below the numeral, the Arabic denomination legend 'خمسة دنانير' (Five Dinars) is inscribed in an elegant calligraphic script. The outer border carries the full Arabic circular legend 'الجمهورية الجزائرية الديمقراطية الشعبية' (People's Democratic Republic of Algeria), separated at the base by an additional small rosette ornament. The design is rendered in a clean, modernist style with a clearly defined inner raised ring separating the central device from the surrounding legend. |

| Reverse description | Central device depicts a stylized oil derrick rising prominently from a base incorporating a sheaf of wheat, symbolizing Algeria's agricultural and petroleum wealth. Thirteen five-pointed stars arranged in a circular arc surround the central design, referencing the nation's independence. The dates '1972' and '1962' appear in the lower left and lower right fields respectively, commemorating the tenth anniversary of Algerian independence. The composition is boldly rendered in a modernist engraving style, with clean geometric lines defining the derrick structure against a smooth field. |
