Obverse lettering	BANKY FOIBEN`I MADAGASIKARA 1996 (Translation: Central Bank of Madagascar)
Reverse description	A stylized frontal zebu (Malagasy ox) head is depicted in the central field, its sweeping upward-curving horns framing a raised circular panel bearing the numeral '5' above the inscription FRANCS. Flanking the zebu head are two agricultural sprigs — a stalk of grain to the left and a vanilla or similar tropical plant to the right — symbolizing Madagascar's natural wealth. The denomination ARIARY curves along the lower border, completing the bilingual monetary designation.
