| Obverse description | The Lion Capital of the Ashoka Pillar, the State Emblem of India, is depicted centrally in the field, showing three lions passant gardant atop an abacus bearing a Dharma Chakra flanked by a horse and bull in relief. The motto सत्यमेव जयते (Satyameva Jayate, meaning 'Truth alone triumphs') appears in Devanagari script immediately below the emblem. The issuer's name arcs along the periphery, with भारत (Bharat) to the left and INDIA to the right. The denomination ₹ 5 is prominently displayed in the lower field beneath the motto. |

| Reverse description | The central device depicts the neoclassical facade of the Allahabad High Court building, surmounted by a flagpole, rising dramatically from the pages of an open book spread across the lower field — symbolising the foundation of justice in law. The date range 1866 - 2016 is inscribed below the central device in the lower field. A bilingual commemorative legend encircles the design: the upper arc carries the Devanagari inscription, while the lower arc bears the English legend, separated by bullet ornaments. The overall composition conveys the institution's sesquicentennial heritage. |
