| Reverse description | The large numeral '5' dominates the central raised inner circle, with the denomination 'teňňe' inscribed in smaller lettering immediately below. The date 2009 appears at the bottom of the field, flanked on either side by rows of stylised carpet-pattern ornamental devices. The circular legend TÜRKMENISTANYŇ MERKEZI BANKY (Central Bank of Turkmenistan) runs along the upper periphery in Latin script, with additional carpet ornaments punctuating the lower border. |

| Additional information |
Turkmenistan's 2009 coinage series followed the 2009 redenomination, in which the new manat replaced the old at a rate of 5,000 to 1 — effectively erasing the zeros accumulated during the post-Soviet inflation of the 1990s. The teňňe subdivisions were introduced as part of that reformed system, though in practice such small denominations saw minimal transactional use in an economy where state-subsidized prices kept everyday costs artificially low.
