| Obverse description | Central field features a large numeral '۵' (5) enclosed within a stylized tulip motif, flanked by radiating lines extending toward the rim. The legend 'جمهوری اسلامی ایران' (Islamic Republic of Iran) appears in Arabic script along the upper periphery. Below the central device, the denomination 'ریال' and the Iranian calendar date '۱۳۵۸' are inscribed. Olive or wheat branches frame the lower portion of the design, lending a formal, heraldic quality to the composition. The field is plain with a beaded border encircling the entire design. |

| Reverse description | Central device depicts a standing lion in profile facing right, rendered in fine relief, with a rising sun partially visible behind its back — a motif rooted in traditional Iranian iconography. The lion stands upon a plain groundline, enclosed within a wreath of olive branches that frames the lower and lateral fields. The Arabic inscription 'پنج ریال' (Five Rials) is engraved in the lower field beneath the groundline. Small floral or tulip decorative elements appear at the base of the wreath. The rim is defined by a continuous beaded border. |
