| Obverse description | Central field features the stylized interlocking logo of the Banco de Moçambique, rendered as an abstract geometric device composed of two interlinked angular forms within a circular motif, all in high relief against a flat field. The circular legend reads '·BANCO·DE·MOÇAMBIQUE·' around the upper periphery, with the four-digit date '2006' positioned at the base, flanked by two raised dots. The design is clean and modernist in character, with no additional ornamentation. |

| Reverse description | The upper portion of the reverse field depicts a mbila (xylophone), a traditional Mozambican percussion instrument, shown in frontal view with its series of wooden keys suspended over gourd resonators, and two mallets resting above the keyboard. Below the instrument, the large numeral '5' is prominently struck in the center of the field, with the denomination legend 'METICAIS' inscribed in bold capital letters along the lower arc of the coin. The composition reflects Mozambique's cultural heritage through the inclusion of a nationally significant musical instrument. |
