| Obverse description | Central device depicts the traditional Bhutanese royal emblem consisting of two intertwined dragons encircling a lotus rosette and a thunder-bolt (dorje), rendered in high relief against a polished field. The legend KINGDOM OF BHUTAN arcs along the upper periphery in Latin characters, while the date 1992 appears twice flanking the central device at the lower sides. A Dzongkha inscription in the Tibetan script occupies the lower arc of the coin beneath the central motif. The overall design reflects the classical Bhutanese decorative tradition associated with royal coinage. |

| Reverse description | Central device portrays a Black-necked Crane (Grus nigricollis) in full flight with wings broadly extended, rising above a naturalistic landscape of wetlands and mountains rendered in fine detail against a mirror-like proof field. The legend ENDANGERED WILDLIFE curves along the upper periphery in Latin letters, while the denomination 5 SERTRUM is inscribed in a straight line across the lower field. The composition emphasises the crane's outstretched wings and elegant neck, capturing the bird's characteristic soaring posture in high relief. |
