| Obverse description | Black intaglio print on white paper with pink underprint. The central vignette presents an allegorical female figure seated with a cello, rendered in fine engraved detail, flanked by ornate guilloche panels bearing the denomination numeral '5' and the inscription 'IN BARBADOS CURRENCY' on each side. The bank title 'THE CANADIAN BANK OF COMMERCE' arches across the upper border, with 'BARBADOS' printed vertically in the left and right margins, and the place and date of issue 'Bridgetown, Barbados' and '2nd January 1922' appearing in the lower register alongside two manuscript signatures. |

| Reverse description | Printed entirely in red-orange on white paper, the reverse is dominated by a central circular vignette of the bank's seal, flanked by two pairs of classical allegorical figures in intaglio style — each pair of standing figures facing inward toward the central medallion. Large numeral '5' guilloche panels occupy the lower left and right corners, and an intricate border of repeating geometric patterns frames the entire composition, with the word 'FIVE' inscribed beneath the central vignette. |
