| Obverse description | The left portion carries a vignette of cattle at a rural settlement with thatched huts and acacia trees in the background, rendered in intaglio. At centre, the Sudanese coat of arms — a secretary bird within a circular laurel wreath over a scroll — is set against a radiating guilloche sunburst. Numeral '5' appears at lower left, flanked by ornate arabesque borders and foliage scrollwork in teal underprint. |

| Reverse description | The central vignette presents an intaglio view of the Bank of Sudan headquarters building in Khartoum, a multi-storey neoclassical structure rendered in fine line engraving against a plain background with decorative foliage to the right. The inscription 'BANK OF SUDAN' runs along the top in Latin script, while 'Five Sudanese Pounds' appears in a guilloche panel at lower centre. Ornamental borders with geometric and floral motifs frame all four sides in red and orange tones. |
