| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse is printed in dark green on a yellow guilloche underprint. The bank name arches across the top border within an ornate scrollwork frame, with denomination numerals in the four corners. To the left, a circular guilloche medallion bears the numeral '5' over 'CENTAVOS' within a wreath, while to the right a circular vignette carries the Banco Nacional Ultramarino seal with a sailing ship, encircled by the legend 'BANCO NACIONAL ULTRAMARINO – LISBOA'. The denomination 'CINCO CENTAVOS' appears in a central cartouche, below which 'MOEDA CORRENTE' and the date in italic script are printed, with a signature line for the Governor and a serial number at the lower centre. |

| Opmerkingen |
The Banco Nacional Ultramarino issued this small-denomination wartime note under emergency conditions that had effectively stripped Portugal's colonial banking system of its metallic small change. By 1918, the hoarding of copper and bronze coins — accelerated by World War I and the economic disruption of the Portuguese Republic's early years — had created a genuine transactional void at the lowest denomination levels, forcing BNU to authorize paper substitutes that would have been considered absurd in peacetime.
Annuncio Commercial was a Lisbon commercial printer, not a specialist security printer. The choice reflects how severely constrained BNU's options were at this moment.
