The promise-to-pay clause appears in script above the denomination 'FIVE DOLLARS' in bold letterpress, with serial numbers to either side; below, a large Gothic-style 'Five' underprint sits alongside the authorisation text 'For the Corporation of the British Guiana Bank', with manuscript signatures for Manager and Director and an Entered/Accountant notation at the foot. |
