| Reverse description | The denomination numeral '5' in Arabic-Indic script appears prominently in the central field, flanked on either side by the dual dates: the Hijri year 1393 to the right and the Gregorian year 1973 to the left. An Arabic legend arcs above the central device. The reverse carries variant vocalization forms of the inscription across different die types. A plain inner border and milled rim frame the design. |

| Additional information |
Egypt's millieme denominations were restructured following the 1971 constitutional changes that renamed the country the Arab Republic of Egypt, requiring a new coinage series to reflect the rebranding. The 1973 issues arrived just months before the October War against Israel — a conflict that severely strained state finances and disrupted normal coin distribution across the country.
