| Obverse description | A highly detailed frontal portrait of a lion's head occupies the central field, rendered in fine relief against a polished background. A ribbon banner inscribed with the national motto arcs beneath the lion's mane, flanked by stylised wings. The legend REPUBLIQUE DU BURUNDI curves along the upper periphery, accompanied by a decorative border of snowflake ornaments. The denomination and weight indication appear in the lower field, reading 5000 Francs and 1 Oz Silver. |

| Additional information |
Burundi's fish-themed novelty issues from this period were produced almost entirely for the collector export market — the country has no coastline, and these denominations never circulated domestically. The 5000-franc face value was purely nominal, bearing no meaningful relationship to actual purchasing power or monetary policy.
