| Reverse description | Central motif consists of a prominent upright wheat ear flanked symmetrically by two olive branches with berries, all rising from a tied base, evoking the FAO 'Food for All' theme. The Arabic numeral '5' appears centrally within the wheat ear, and the denomination in Arabic ('قروش') is inscribed below it in the lower field. The legend 'Food for All' in Arabic curves along the upper periphery, with the entire design enclosed within a beaded border. |
