| Reverse description | The numeral '5' and the Cyrillic denomination ЛЕВА are inscribed in two lines at the centre of the field, with the four-digit date below, all enclosed within a wreath composed of oak and laurel branches surmounted by wheat ears. The wreath is tied at the base with a decorative ribbon bow and embellished with rose blossoms at the lower junctions, lending a distinctly Balkan character to the design. A beaded rim encircles the entire reverse. |
