Obverse description The obverse is printed in black on pale green-tinted paper, with a horizontal layout divided into distinct vignette panels. At upper left, a lively pastoral vignette shows a group of horses in motion. At upper centre, a small oval portrait vignette is set within a rosette border, flanked by the denomination numeral '5000' in a dark oval cartouche at upper right. At lower left, a bust portrait of a bearded male figure is inset within a plain frame, while at lower right a classical allegorical female figure is shown seated with attributes. The central text panel carries the issuing authority and denomination in bold letterpress, with two manuscript signatures and a handwritten date above the lower border.

Reverse description The reverse is printed entirely in green, with a tripartite guilloche layout. Two large oval denomination panels bearing the numeral '5000' occupy the left and right thirds, each surrounded by intricate lathe-work borders. The central panel features an elaborate floral guilloche rosette arrangement enclosing the text inscription of the issuing province in ornate script lettering, with additional rosette medallions arranged around the central cartouche. The overall design relies exclusively on engine-turned geometric patterns without figurative imagery.
