| Obverse description | Violet, purple and gold on multicolour underprint. The Bank of Zambia title inscription appears at centre-top in ornate lettering, below which the promise clause and denomination legend read 'FIVE KWACHA' in intaglio. An African fish eagle rendered in fine intaglio engraving perches on a branch at right, with a baobab tree vignette in the background. At lower left, the national arms appear within a circular guilloche, dated '2012'; at left, a 'K5' denomination numeral and a 'BoZ' watermark device are visible, alongside a vertical gold security stripe with 'BOZ' microtext. |

| Reverse description | Violet, brown and multicolour. A large intaglio vignette of a lion's head dominates the left portion of the note, with fine guilloche wave patterns beneath. At centre, a detailed engraving of a Zambian cassava plant with leaves and tubers is set against a light underprint, flanked to the right by a vignette of the Freedom Statue — a figure breaking chains — rendered in purple intaglio. A latent 'BoZ' device with a dove motif appears at far right. The 'BANK OF ZAMBIA' title is inscribed at top centre and 'FIVE KWACHA' at lower left, with the Giesecke & Devrient printer's imprint at lower right. |
