It has two prime digits. Digit 3 is the highest digit. Digit 2 is the lowest digit. Digit 1 is higher than the sum of digits 4 and 5. Digit 5 is half of digit 4. Digit 1 is one smaller than digit 3. Digit 5 is between digit 2 and digit 1
The digit 0 doesn't appear, and there are no duplicates. Don't forget that 1 isn't prime, but 2, 3, 5 and 7 are prime.
