Obverse description	A panoramic vignette of a Moroccan medina with a prominent mosque minaret at centre, terraced buildings cascading toward a palm-lined foreground, and snow-capped Atlas Mountains rising in the background, all rendered in fine intaglio engraving in olive and green tones. The issuer's name BANQUE D'ÉTAT DU MAROC is inscribed across the top panel, with the denomination 5000 and CINQ MILLE FRANCS in bold letterpress at upper left. The border is composed of intricate Moorish arabesque and geometric guilloche ornaments in warm ochre tones, with series and check-letter numerals at each corner.

Reverse description	A large hydroelectric dam vignette dominates the centre-right of the note, its massive concrete face and sluice gates rendered in detailed intaglio, with a reservoir and rocky gorge visible beyond; a power station complex with industrial buildings and pylons occupies the left foreground. Arabic inscriptions of the bank name and denomination in large calligraphic script appear across the upper portion, with the numeral 5000 in red letterpress at lower right. The border repeats the geometric and arabesque guilloche pattern of the obverse, with a plain circular watermark window at upper left.
