| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in red ink — the characteristic feature that gave this series the 'Redback' nickname — with a large five-pointed star at center, surrounded by elaborate scrollwork and guilloche ornaments in each corner. Two circular decorative frames flank the central star, and the denomination numeral 5 appears within the corner vignettes. The inscription TEXAS is spelt out across the design. |
