| Obverse description | A boldly rendered lion passant faces left at center, standing above a horizontal baseline, depicted in a stylized heraldic manner with a full mane and raised tail. The State of Israel emblem — a menorah flanked by olive branches — appears in the upper right field. The trilingual country name legend encircles the design: 'ISRAEL' in Latin script along the upper rim, 'ישראל' in Hebrew script along the lower rim, and 'إسرائيل' in Arabic script along the left field. A small Star of David mint mark appears below the baseline near the bottom of the coin, identifying this piece as the year-set issue. |

| Reverse description | The large numeral '5' dominates the center of the reverse in bold relief. Below it, the Hebrew denomination 'לירות ישראליות' (Israeli Pounds) is inscribed in two lines, followed by the Hebrew date 'תשל״ט' (5739, corresponding to 1979) in a third line at the bottom. Two stylized six-pointed star (Star of David) ornaments flank the numeral '5' symmetrically on the left and right sides of the field, rendered in a decorative rosette style characteristic of this year-set issue. |
