The 5 Cruzeiros Reais was a Brazilian circulation coin produced between 1993 and 1994 as part of the cruzeiro real series. It was struck in stainless steel, which gave it a durable, bright finish well suited to daily handling. The coin weighs 3.27 g and measures 21 mm in diameter, in a standard round shape. It passed as ordinary money before being taken out of circulation.

The obverse carries the date to the left of the denomination in a plain layout. The lettering reads “BRASIL”, the year “1994” and the value “5 CR$”, marking the issuing country and the coin’s face value.

The reverse depicts two macaw parrots, representing the blue-and-yellow macaw (Ara ararauna), in keeping with the coin’s wildlife theme. The inscription reads “ARARA”, the Portuguese name for the macaws shown.
