| Obverse lettering | BRITISH WEST AFRICA WEST AFRICAN CURRENCY BOARD PROMISE TO PAY ON DEMAND THE SUM OF ONE HUNDRED SHILLINGS OR FIVE POUNDS |
| Reverse description | Printed entirely in blue, the reverse carries a central vignette of two figures engaged in a palm-fruit harvest beside a rural structure, with cut palm fronds and fruit bunches visible in the foreground. Large guilloche rosettes bearing the £5 denomination anchor the lower corners, with '100/-' counterparts at the right corners, all within a fine engine-turned frame. The printer's imprint 'WATERLOW & SONS LIMITED, LONDON' appears in small lettering at the bottom margin. |
