| Reverse description | At center, two cricketers are depicted in action — a batsman in full batting stance with raised bat and a wicket-keeper crouching behind the wickets, rendered in high relief against a plain field. Below the figures, the denomination '5' appears in large numerals flanked by Braille dots, with the legend 'FIVE RUPEES' in Latin script and equivalent inscriptions in Sinhala and Tamil. The upper legend reads '1999 CRICKET WORLD CUP / MAY 14 – JUNE 20', and encircling the design along the periphery are the names of all twelve participating nations separated by asterisks. |
