| Obverse description | The obverse features the coat of arms of Rwanda prominently rendered in the central field, depicting a shield quartered with a sun, sorghum plant, and a gear motif, flanked by two knotted serpents at the base and surmounted by a banner bearing the legend REPUBULIKA Y U RWANDA. The arms are encircled by a broad outer legend reading NATIONAL BANK OF RWANDA - BANKI INKURU Y'U RWANDA, disposed along the upper periphery, while the denomination 5000 FRW appears along the lower rim. A secondary legend UBUMWI - UMURIMO - GUKUNDA IGIHUGU, the national motto meaning Unity, Work, Patriotism, is inscribed below the shield in the lower field. The design employs a proof finish with frosted devices contrasting against a mirror-polished field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a colour-printed photographic rendering of the National Bank of Rwanda headquarters building occupying the lower and central field, depicted in realistic detail with surrounding vegetation. Above the building, the bold raised monogram BNR dominates the upper central field, flanked on the left by the arched legend 50 YEARS OF CENTRAL BANKING disposed along the upper periphery. The commemorative dates 1964 - 2014 are inscribed below the monogram, marking the fiftieth anniversary of central banking in Rwanda. The proof-finished silver field frames the colourised architectural motif, creating a striking contrast between the polished metal and the applied colour print. |
