| Obverse description | The coat of arms of the Federal Republic of Nigeria occupies the central field, depicting a black eagle displayed atop a black and white divided shield with a wavy pall, supported by two rearing horses facing inward. Below the shield, a grassy mound supports a scroll bearing the national motto UNITY AND FAITH. The circumferential legend FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA arcs along the upper rim, while the date of issue appears in the lower field, flanked by two small dots serving as separators. |

| Reverse description | Two cocoa pods rendered in high relief dominate the central field, depicted with their characteristic elongated forms and short stems with curling tendrils, symbolising one of Nigeria's principal agricultural exports. The large numeral 5 is positioned to the left of the pods in the mid-field, with the denomination legend KOBO inscribed in lowercase letters along the lower rim. The field is otherwise plain, lending a clean, modernist aesthetic to the design. |
