| Obverse description | Right-facing bust of Mihai Viteazul (Michael the Brave), the late 16th-century Wallachian prince, depicted in period attire featuring a prominent fur-trimmed kalpak hat adorned with a feather plume and a richly detailed fur-collared mantle. The portrait is rendered in high relief with strong sculptural modelling, occupying the majority of the field. The legend 'MIHAI VITEAZUL' arcs along the left rim and 'ROMANIA' along the right rim in incuse Latin lettering. The engraver's initials 'VG' appear in small characters at the lower left of the bust truncation. |

| Reverse description | Large bold numeral '5' dominates the central field, rendered in a distinctive serif style with a curved tail. Directly below, the denomination legend 'LEI' is inscribed in uppercase Latin lettering, flanked on either side by symmetrical sprays of olive or laurel branches extending from the lower field upward along the inner rim. The date '1991' appears in the exergue beneath the branch tips, completing the reverse design in a balanced and classically restrained composition. |
