Descrizione del rovescio	The central vignette, executed in fine intaglio engraving, shows two women engaged in the traditional pounding of grain at a large wooden mortar, set before a rural homestead with thatched-roof huts and a cultivated field receding into the background. The scene is framed by an elaborate guilloche border in green and olive tones. The denomination numeral 5 appears at both the left and right margins, with the issuer's name across the top.

Commenti	Zimbabwe's inaugural banknote series, of which this is part, was issued immediately following independence in April 1980 — the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe itself had only just been constituted, replacing the Reserve Bank of Rhodesia. Thomas De La Rue printed the entire inaugural series in London, a common arrangement for newly independent states that lacked domestic printing infrastructure and needed internationally credible currency quickly. The watermark remains the primary security feature — modest by later standards, but sufficient for a country whose economy in 1980 was still relatively stable. The hyperinflationary collapse that would eventually necessitate denominations in the trillions was still two decades away.
