| Obverse description | Central field features a stylized modernist composition of four schematic human figures — two taller adults flanking two smaller children — rendered in a primitive, linear artistic style evoking ancient Anatolian iconography. The figures are accompanied by two wheat stalks, one to the left and one to the right, symbolizing agricultural abundance and the FAO theme of food security. The legend TÜRKIYE CUMHURIYETI curves along the upper periphery, while the inscription HERKESE EKMEK VE KONUT (meaning 'Bread and Housing for All') runs along the lower periphery, separated by two raised dots serving as punctuation marks. |

| Reverse description | Central field displays the large numeral '5' above the denomination legend LIRA, with the date 1977 beneath, all within a wreath composed of wheat ears to the left and an olive branch to the right, their stems crossing at the base. The Turkish national symbols — a crescent moon and a five-pointed star — appear above the numeral at the top of the field. The overall design is clean and heraldic, with fine detail in the botanical elements of the wreath framing the denomination. |
