| Obverse description | The obverse features a stylized decorative design incorporating the cedar tree motif of Lebanon rendered in an ornate, flowing arabesque style, set within an elaborate field divided into contrasting dark and light sections. The denomination numeral '5' appears prominently in the lower field alongside the legend 'LIVRES', with two inset red crystal gemstones flanking the central design. The issuer's name 'BANQUE DU LIBAN' is inscribed along the upper rim in Latin script, while the Arabic equivalent '٥ ليرات' appears within the central device. The dual date '2013-٢٠١٣' is inscribed along the lower rim in both Latin and Arabic numerals, and the twelve zodiacal symbols are depicted in a band across the mid-field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts the Sagittarius zodiac sign as a muscular male archer rendered in high relief, shown in three-quarter profile drawing a taut longbow against a richly colored enamel background in deep red and orange hues. A large decorative bow arc frames the upper field, upon which gilded Arabic calligraphy is applied in an ornate arabesque style. The Sagittarius astrological symbol appears within a roundel in the lower left field, set against a dark red enamel ground with scrollwork ornament. The entire central design is bordered by a raised decorative rim with repeating motifs, lending the composition an artistic, jewel-like quality. |
