| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in a warm reddish-brown tone and centres on a large numeral '5' rendered in an ornate lathe-work guilloche design, set within a circular medallion of fine engine-turned scrollwork. A horizontal band of intricate geometric and foliate guilloche patterns extends across the full width of the note, flanked by decorative corner ornaments. The overall design is characteristic of mid-nineteenth-century American security printing, relying entirely on mechanical lathe-work patterns with no pictorial vignette. |
