The denomination '5' appears prominently, with 'FIVE RUPEES' in Latin script complemented by the equivalent values in Sinhala (රුපියල් පහ) and Tamil (ஐந்து ரூபாய்). The country name 'SRI LANKA' is inscribed in Latin, Sinhala (ශ්රී ලංකා), and Tamil (இலங்கை), reflecting the island's three official scripts. The overall layout is arranged concentrically within the decagonal flan. |

| Reverse description | Central design depicts a stylized representation of the Bandaranaike Memorial International Conference Hall, the venue for the Fifth Non-Aligned Nations Summit held in Colombo in 1976. Below the building, 'NON-ALIGNED NATIONS CONFERENCE 1976' is inscribed in Latin script, with the equivalent legend rendered in Sinhala and Tamil script around the periphery. The architectural motif is rendered in a clean, formal style befitting a commemorative issue, with the inscriptions framing the central device within the coin's decagonal border. |
