| Obverse description | The state coat of arms of the People's Republic of Bulgaria occupies the central field, depicting a rampant lion on a shield flanked by two wheat sheaves bound with a ribbon, with a five-pointed star above and the dates 681 and 1944 inscribed on a scroll at the base. The denomination numeral '5' appears prominently in the lower field, flanked by decorative foliate scrolls, with the word 'ЛЕВА' to the right and the year '1979' to the left below the arms. The circular legend 'НАРОДНА РЕПУБЛИКА БЪЛГАРИЯ' runs along the upper periphery in Cyrillic characters, separated from the inner design by a ring of beads. |

| Reverse description | The central field features a stylized radiating communications tower emitting concentric signal waves, rendered in a bold modernist design. At the base of the tower, a post horn with a small Bulgarian lion emblem serves as a symbol linking historic and modern communications. The commemorative dates '1879' and '1979' flank the lower central device, marking the centenary of Bulgarian communications. The arc legend 'СТО ГОДИНИ БЪЛГАРСКИ СЪОБЩЕНИЯ' curves along the upper periphery in Cyrillic characters. |
