| Beschrijving voorzijde | The national emblem of Mauritania occupies the upper field, depicting a crescent and five-pointed star above two crossed sprigs of millet and acacia, all rendered in low relief. The date of issue is split to either side of the emblem, with the numeral '20' at left and '09' at right. Below the emblem, the denomination numeral '5' is prominently displayed in the center field, with the word 'OUGUIYA' inscribed beneath it. A circular legend reading 'BANQUE CENTRALE DE MAURITANIE' surrounds the entire design along the periphery. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Mauritania's ouguiya is one of only two world currencies not based on the decimal system — divided into 5 khoums rather than 100 subunits, a structure rooted in traditional West African exchange ratios predating colonial monetary organization. The "small type" designation distinguishes this issue from the physically larger earlier brass pieces, a reduction carried out by the Banque Centrale as a cost-control measure during a period when global commodity prices made the original planchet specifications increasingly uneconomical.
Brass-plated steel replaced solid brass beginning with this type, a substitution common across Sahelian nations during the late 2000s commodity spike.
