| Obverse description | The obverse carries bilingual text in English and French throughout, with the numeral '5' rendered in multicolored wave-pattern guilloche underprinting. The Coat of Arms of Canada occupies the upper center, while an intaglio portrait of Sir Wilfrid Laurier — Canada's seventh Prime Minister and first Francophone to hold the office — appears to the right. Behind the portrait, a vignette presents a northeasterly view of the Centre Block and Library of Parliament as they appeared during Laurier's era, with the Red Ensign flying from the tower. |

The denomination numeral '5' appears in each corner, and below the central vignette the serial number is printed twice in black ink, accompanied by a bar code to assist visually impaired users. |
