| Reverse description | A dynamic full-figure depiction of a female weightlifter executed in the snatch position, arms fully extended overhead supporting a loaded barbell, her body in a wide split-squat stance. The athletic figure is rendered in high relief against a stylized background featuring a dark celestial field in the upper portion and a geometric basketwork pattern along the lower register. The denomination '5 KINA' is inscribed to the left of the figure in the field, while the legend 'OLYMPIC GAMES' arcs to the upper right with the year '2016' below it in large numerals. |

Papua New Guinea issued this coin three years before the Rio Games opened — an unusually long lead time that reflects how aggressively Pacific island nations competed for IOC licensing revenue during the 2010s. The Bank of Papua New Guinea had no athletes who medaled at Rio 2016, making the issue purely commercial rather than celebratory.
