| Obverse description | The obverse bears a stylized Arabic legend naming the issuing authority, the Arab Republic of Egypt, arranged across the upper field. The denomination '5 Qirsh' appears in Arabic numerals and script, with the dual date rendered in both Gregorian (1984) and Hijri (1404) calendars positioned to the lower right. All inscriptions are rendered in Arabic script within a plain field, reflecting the modernist graphic style characteristic of Egyptian coinage of this period. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a bold, stylized depiction of the three Pyramids of Giza rendered in relief against a plain field, with the two larger pyramids prominently in the foreground and the third partially visible to the right. The pyramids' stone-course texture is rendered in fine cross-hatching, conveying the ancient masonry in a graphic, modernist idiom. A undulating desert landscape occupies the lower portion of the field beneath the pyramids. The design is framed by a continuous beaded border running along the coin's periphery. |
