| Obverse description | Within a beaded border, the large Arabic numeral '5' (٥) dominates the central field, flanked on either side by the dual dates '١٣٩٢' (AH 1392) to the right and '١٩٧٢' (AD 1972) to the left, with the denomination legend 'مليمات' (Milliemes) inscribed below. The circular legend 'جمهورية مصر العربية' (Arab Republic of Egypt) arcs across the upper field in stylized Arabic naskh script. The coin's flat, unadorned field lends a clean, typographic character to the design. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a panoramic vignette of the Aswan High Dam across the central field, with the Nile River depicted stretching before it and a rising sun with radiating rays visible above the dam structure in the upper field. Flanking the central scene are agricultural emblems: two ears of wheat to the right and two maize cobs to the lower left and right, symbolizing the FAO's food production theme. The Arabic legend 'انتج مزيداً من الطعام' (Produce more food) arcs across the upper portion of the field, with the commemorative date '١٥ يناير سنة ١٩٧١' (January 15, 1971) inscribed within the lower central field. The composition is enclosed within a beaded border consistent with the obverse. |
