| Obverse description | Printed in blue and green with an elaborate guilloche underprint in red and blue, the obverse carries an oval portrait vignette of a Chinese dignitary in traditional robes and cap at left, balanced by an oval architectural vignette of a classical Chinese pavilion at right. The central panel bears large Chinese characters 伍圓 flanked by vertical inscriptions and corner denomination panels, with a red SPECIMEN overprint across the centre and serial number positions rendered in zeroes confirming unissued status. Corner and border ornamentation is executed in fine lathe-work consistent with American Bank Note Company production standards of the period. |
