| Reverse description | The large numeral '5' dominates the central field, rendered in bold relief. The denomination legend MARKKAA curves along the lower periphery in upright Latin lettering. To either side of the numeral, a pair of stylized clasped or grasped hands rendered as decorative devices flank the figure at mid-field, separated from the numeral by vertical rules. The field is otherwise plain, with a raised rim encircling the design. |
