| Obverse description | Central field features a draped bust of King Birendra Bir Bikram in traditional ceremonial regalia, facing left, set within a decorative square frame with swastika-ornamented corners, a recurring auspicious motif in Nepali numismatic art. The royal name legend in Devanagari script arcs around the upper portion of the frame, reading 'श्री भवानी' at upper left and 'बीरेन्द्र वीर विक्रम' across the top. The inscription 'राज्याभिषेक' (coronation) appears along the lower arc within the frame, commemorating the 1974 coronation event. The issuer name 'नेपाल सरकार' (Government of Nepal) appears to the sides, with the Vikram Samvat date '२०३१' (VS 2031) in Devanagari numerals at the base below the frame. |

| Reverse description | Central design features the Nepali royal emblem — a kukri dagger flanked by two Rhododendron (lali gurans) flower sprigs — rendered in fine relief within a circular inner field. Below the emblem, the denomination legend reads 'पाँच पैसा' (Five Paisa) and the country name 'नेपाल' in Devanagari script. The inner circle is surrounded by an ornate lotus-petal border composed of alternating lobed segments, each adorned with the honorific 'श्री' repeated in Devanagari, lending the design a distinctly devotional and ceremonial character. A dotted outer border frames the entire composition. |
