| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in blue and dominated by a large central roman numeral "V" rendered in bold intaglio, overlaid with an intricate lathe-work guilloche background of crosshatched diamond patterns. Four ornate denomination counters, each bearing the numeral "5" set within elaborate scrollwork and floral lathe-work rosettes, occupy the four corners, with a fifth "5" centered within the V vignette, the entire composition enclosed by a decorative scalloped border. |
