| Reverse description | Printed in dark green on a light-blue guilloche underprint repeating the issuer's legend, the reverse is dominated by an ornate cartouche at centre containing the anti-counterfeiting warning text in French. Flanking the cartouche at left and right are two circular guilloche medallions each bearing the numeral 5. The denomination is rendered in four scripts around the border: Vietnamese (NĂM XU) at upper left, Khmer script at upper right, Lao script at lower left, and Chinese characters 伍仙 at lower right, reflecting the multilingual character of the French Indochina territories. |
