| Obverse description | Central field depicts a seated Bahian woman (baianas de acarajé), adorned with traditional beaded necklaces and a turban, shown in the act of preparing food over large ceramic bowls, rendered in finely detailed relief against a mirror-like proof field. The figure is presented in a naturalistic, three-quarter pose with folk-cultural detail evocative of Afro-Brazilian heritage. The denomination numeral '5' appears to the upper left of the central device, with the legend 'REAIS' below it to the left and 'BRASIL' to the right. |

| Reverse description | Central device depicts an architectural composition referencing the historic centre of Salvador, Bahia, featuring a prominent elevator shaft — evoking the iconic Lacerda Elevator — flanked by a colonial-era building facade to the left and a neoclassical public building with surrounding trees to the right, all rendered in precise low relief against a deeply mirrored proof field. The curved upper legend reads 'PATRIMÔNIO DA HUMANIDADE - UNESCO', arcing from left to right along the upper rim. Below the central design, the inscription 'SALVADOR' appears above the date '2015', both centrally placed near the lower rim. |
