Obverse description	Red on multicolour underprint, with a vignette of a traditional tower-house building in Wadi Du'an positioned at left, set against an intricate guilloche background. Arabic inscriptions name the issuing authority and denomination at centre, framed by an ornate red border with rosette cornerpieces. Serial numbers appear twice, and a governor's facsimile signature with title is printed below the central medallion.

Reverse description	Olive-yellow and red on pale underprint, with a large central intaglio vignette of the cliff-top village of Beit al-Midle perched dramatically atop a sheer rocky outcrop, mountain ranges receding into the background. The inscription "CENTRAL BANK OF YEMEN" runs along the upper border in red, with the denomination numeral "5" at each side. "FIVE RIALS" appears in a decorative cartouche along the lower border, all enclosed within a red guilloche frame with ornamental scroll motifs.
