| Reverse description | Central motif depicts the numeral '5' set within a bold pentagon-shaped cartouche, the denomination dominating the field. The Urdu word for rupees appears beneath the numeral within the cartouche. Ornate floral scroll decorations frame the cartouche symmetrically on both sides, lending a decorative character to the design. The border is defined by a reeded edge consistent with the coin's milled technique. |

Trial strikes produced for the State Bank of Pakistan's currency committee reviews rarely escaped the approval process into collector hands, making documented survivors genuinely uncommon rather than artificially scarce. The 2002 five-rupee program ultimately moved forward with a cupro-nickel composition rather than copper, which is precisely what makes this piece interesting — it represents a material path that was formally rejected.
