| Reverse description | Printed in orange-brown on a light ground, the reverse carries a large central vignette of the bank's heraldic seal — a shield with a sailing vessel, supported on each side by a standing male figure representing Commerce and Navigation. The numeral 5 appears in large guilloche-framed counters at left and right, with the word FIVE in a panel at the base. An intricate geometric lathe-work border frames the entire design. |
