| Reverse description | The central field features the denomination numeral '5' in Western figures to the left and the Eastern Arabic-Indic numeral '٥' to the right, flanking a central motif of two crossed grain ears rising from their junction, symbolising agricultural prosperity. Below the numerals, the Arabic inscription 'خمسة غروش' (five piastres) is rendered in flowing script. The French legend 'CINQ PIASTRES' arcs across the upper field in raised Latin capitals. The entire design is enclosed within the same elaborate interlaced arabesque border as the obverse, maintaining visual coherence across both faces. |
