The legend REPÚBLICA DE ANGOLA arcs along the upper portion of the nickel brass ring, while the date 2012 appears in the lower field beneath the central device. |

| Reverse description | The numeral '5' is rendered in a large, bold typeface dominating the left and centre of the copper-nickel core, with the denomination legend 'kwanzas' inscribed in smaller lettering below. To the right of the numeral, a traditional Angolan geometric lattice pattern — composed of interlocking diamond and grid motifs — fills the remaining portion of the inner disc, referencing indigenous decorative heritage. The nickel brass ring is plain and unadorned. |
