| Obverse description | The dodecagonal obverse features the large numeral '5' prominently in the center-right field, with a small State of Israel emblem (menorah flanked by olive branches) to its upper left. Below the numeral, the denomination legend reads 'שקלים חדשים' (New Sheqalim) in Hebrew, followed by 'NEW SHEQALIM' in Latin script. The peripheral legend running along the upper left and left rim bears the country name in Hebrew ('ישראל'), Arabic ('اسرائيل'), and Latin ('ISRAEL'), with the Gregorian year '1990' and the Hebrew year 'התשנ״א' inscribed along the lower rim. A small mint mark appears in the lower field. |

| Reverse description | The dodecagonal reverse presents a stylized cartographic depiction of the Sea of Galilee (Kinneret), rendered as a recessed ovoid lake surrounded by contoured topographic lines suggesting the surrounding hills and shoreline. Within the lake's interior, several vignettes are depicted in fine relief: a historical wooden wagon or cart near the upper field, a small group of waterfowl in the center-right, a circular ancient coin or medallion motif at center-left, and two fish in the lower-center field. The Hebrew legend 'הכנרת' appears along the left rim, and the English legend 'Sea of Galilee' curves along the right rim. |
