| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of the People's Republic of Mozambique occupies the central field, depicting a Kalashnikov rifle and a hoe crossed over an open book, set against a rising sun with radiating rays, all superimposed on a map of Mozambique above stylised waves. The arms are encircled by a wreath composed of a sugarcane stalk to the left and a maize ear to the right, surmounted by a five-pointed star. A scroll at the base of the arms bears the inscription REPÚBLICA POPULAR DE MOÇAMBIQUE in small lettering. The peripheral legend REPÚBLICA POPULAR DE MOÇAMBIQUE runs along the upper border, with the date of issue appearing in the lower field, flanked by two small pellets. |

| Reverse description | The central field depicts a farmer operating a tractor pulling a multi-share plough to the left, with exhaust smoke rising from the engine stack toward the upper right, evoking themes of agricultural modernisation and socialist development. The large numeral 5 appears prominently in the upper left field. A horizontal line separates the central design from the lower segment, where the denomination legend METICAIS is inscribed across the base. The entire design is contained within a beaded inner border. |
