Obverse description Letterpress print in black on cream paper. At the top, the denomination in German appears on a solid black ribbon interrupted by a Roman numeral 'V' within a solid black diamond cartouche set in a hatched rectangle; below, the Arabic numeral '5' is enclosed in a solid black oval within a hatched octagon. The central field carries the Austrian coat of arms flanked by curlicue panels bearing the denomination in Polish and Italian to the left, and in Hungarian and Croatian to the right, with the issuing bank's name in a curlicue panel below; a seven-line German legal text in Fraktur script surrounds these elements. Eight manuscript signatures appear in two columns beneath the central text, with the handwritten serial number in a hatched rectangular frame with scroll cornerpieces at the bottom, and the year in Roman numerals on a ribbon below; stylised chain-link borders run the full height of both vertical edges, and four dry embossed stamps occupy the corners.

Reverse description The reverse carries a partial offset impression (contre-frappe) of the obverse printing, visible as a mirror image of the Fraktur text and ornamental elements through the paper. The denomination in five languages — German, Hungarian, Polish, Czech, and Italian — is printed in large Fraktur and roman letterforms in a centred column, with the Roman numeral date 'MDCCCVI' at the foot within a hatched octagonal frame; the chain-link side borders and corner dry stamps of the obverse are also visible in impression.
