Obverse description The obverse is dominated by a central intaglio portrait of King Tupou VI in formal military dress with medals, set against a purple guilloche underprint. To the left, a secondary vignette shows a portrait of a previous monarch within a circular frame alongside the numeral 5 and a decorative star motif. The royal coat of arms appears to the right, with the serial number printed twice in the upper right and lower left areas, and two signature facsimiles accompanied by the titles PALEMIA 'O TONGA and MINISITA PAANGA at lower right.

Reverse description The reverse presents a central vignette of the Ha'amonga 'a Maui trilithon, a massive ancient stone arch and Tonga's most iconic archaeological monument, rendered in blue-purple tones against a fine guilloche background with tropical foliage underprint. A secondary portrait vignette, likely of a former monarch, is inset to the right within a clear window panel bearing the NRBT acronym. The denomination 5 appears in large numeral at lower left, with the issuing authority's name and legal tender inscription at the top.
