| Obverse description | Intaglio-printed note on aged paper with a central allegorical vignette of three classical female figures, one bearing a staff, set against a lightly engraved cloud ground; an eagle and cherub vignette occupies the upper left corner. At lower left, a large ornate "V" within guilloche-work bearing a "DOLLARS" legend, while at lower right an oval portrait of a young woman sits within a lathe-work border surmounted by a bold numeral "5" in a rosette panel. A red-ink cursive underprint reading "FIVE DOLLARS" runs across the center field, over which manuscript date and hand-applied cashier's and president's signatures appear. |

| Reverse description | The reverse carries no intentional printed design; faint show-through impressions of the obverse vignettes and lettering are visible through the thin paper stock, and a manuscript endorsement in ink appears on the plain surface. |
