Obverse description	The bank's circular arms vignette, flanked by flags and laurel branches, occupies the upper centre, with an oval guilloche counter bearing the denomination numeral '5' at upper left and an oval cartouche inscribed 'ΠΕΝΤΕ' at upper right. The header reads 'ΙΟΝΙΚΗ ΤΡΑΠΕΖΑ' in bold letterpress across the top, with the promise-to-pay text in Greek script occupying the central field, and a rectangular panel inscribed 'ΚΟΛΟΝΑΤΑ ΠΕΝΤΕ' with the branch designation 'ΖΑΚΥΝΘΟΣ' in a framed cartouche at the foot. Two manuscript signature lines appear at lower centre, identified by the printed legends 'Λογιστής' and 'Διευθυντής'.
