| Obverse description | Central field bears the Arabic numeral '5' flanked on either side by the dual dates in Arabic script — the Hijri year 1397 to the right and the Gregorian year 1977 to the left. Above the denomination, a decorative floral or stylised vegetal device separates the numeral from the inscriptions. The legend 'جمهورية مصر العربية' (Arab Republic of Egypt) is inscribed across the middle field, while the FAO commemorative motto 'الطعام والمأوى للجميع' (Food and Shelter for All) arcs along the upper portion. The coin is encircled by a continuous beaded border. |

| Reverse description | A detailed rural and agricultural scene occupies the entire field, depicting figures engaged in farming activities alongside a cow or ox being led by a kneeling farmer, evoking themes of food production. In the background, a multi-storey building or housing structure is visible to the left, with a tree and additional architectural elements to the right, symbolising shelter and community. The FAO globe logo appears in the lower exergue below the scene. The inscription 'F A O' is absent from the reverse field, with the design relying on imagery alone to convey the FAO mandate. A beaded border frames the entire composition. |
