| Reverse description | The reverse carries a full-width decorative text panel presenting a patriotic poem in Cyrillic script arranged in stanzas against a light guilloche underprint, with a smaller vignette of the same blue-and-yellow bird, here oriented facing right, placed within the composition. The denomination inscription and the disclaimer that the note is not legal tender appear at the bottom of the panel. |
| Reverse lettering | 2023 Розквітає наша ненька Україна І шумлять вітрами молоді гаї! Звідусюди ллється мова солов`їна, Лине піснею до рідної землі! Тож нехай дарує Бог вам щастя і добра! Хай цвіте, як квітка, наша Україна! І зливаючись із водами величного Дніпра, Лине співом рідна мова солов`їна! В кожну хату вам родинного тепла, Вишиванкою душа нехай сміється! Україною від міста й до села Рідна мова в кожнім серці озоветься! п'ять гривень НЕ Є ПЛАТІЖНИМ ЗАСОБОМ (Translation: 2023 Our dear Ukraine is blooming And the young groves rustle with the winds! From everywhere the nightingale's language flows, Flows with a song to the native land! So may God grant you happiness and goodness! Let our Ukraine bloom like a flower! And merging with the waters of the majestic Dnipro, The native nightingale's language flows with a song! Family warmth to every house, May the soul laugh with embroidery! Through Ukraine from a city to a village The native language will be heard in every heart! Five Hryvnias NOT A LEGAL TENDER) |

Ukraine's National Bank has issued commemorative and special-edition notes periodically, but this 2023 piece is notable for being part of the wartime collector series — notes produced during the full-scale Russian invasion that began in February 2022. The "Nightingale" designation is a thematic title applied to a specific release in that series, not a denomination nickname.
Paper rather than polymer is unusual for modern NBU commemoratives, most of which use polymer substrate. That choice here likely reflects either production logistics under wartime conditions or a deliberate nod to traditional note manufacture.
