| Reverse description | A highly detailed naturalistic depiction of the Pig-nosed Turtle (Carettochelys insculpta) occupies the upper and central field, rendered in fine relief with the distinctive rounded carapace, paddle-like forelimbs, and the characteristic fleshy, pig-like snout visible in profile as the animal faces right. The denomination numeral 5 and the Toea abbreviation t appear in bold relief in the lower central field beneath the turtle. A continuous beaded border frames the design at the periphery. |
