| Obverse description | The Syrian coat of arms — an eagle with spread wings above a shield charged with three red stars — appears at the lower right, printed in dark brown intaglio. A large central vignette in pale green guilloche carries the denomination and issue text in ornate Arabic calligraphy within an elaborate cartouche, flanked by decorative floral arabesques. Serial numbers appear at upper right and lower left, with the numeral 5 repeated in the upper left corner, all within a finely engraved guilloche border. |

| Reverse description | A central vignette presents an engraved view of the Citadel of Aleppo, its massive stone walls and arched gateway rendered in fine intaglio lines against a plain sky, set within a rectangular frame. The denomination numeral 5 appears at upper left and upper right, flanking the issuer's title. The inscription PREMIERE EMISSION appears discreetly at lower right of the vignette, with a large circular guilloche panel to the right, likely intended as a watermark check area. |
