| Obverse description | Printed in black, the obverse carries a central allegorical vignette of the Confederacy striking down the Union, flanked by a ornate lazy 5 numeral. A bearded male figure with a water jug appears at the lower right, rendered in the engraved style typical of mid-19th century American bank note production. The note bears manuscript or printed authorization lines for the Auditor and Treasurer, with the place of issue given as Baton Rouge. |

| Reverse description | Printed entirely in green, the reverse is dominated by a large central oval guilloche medallion bearing a bold white Roman numeral V in underprint, framed by intricate lathe-work patterns. Two smaller circular medallions, each containing a white arabesque numeral 5 within a floral guilloche border, are positioned at the left and right extremities. The overall design relies entirely on geometric engine-turned ornament without pictorial vignettes. |
