| Obverse description | Light blue underprint with snowflake guilloche patterns forms the ground of this collector note. At left, the Greenland coat of arms appears as a metallic vignette in gold and copper tones, accompanied by the serial number prefix GRL MX and the denomination numeral '5' above the legend 'FIVE KRONER' in bold letterpress. The dominant central and right-hand vignette presents a large-format intaglio-style portrait of a Greenland muskox (Ovibos moschatus wardi) in close-up, its dense dark coat rendered with fine engraving detail. The word 'GREENLAND' runs vertically at the right margin within a dark bar, with the Latin binomial 'Ovibos moschatus wardi' printed vertically alongside it. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is set on a light blue guilloche underprint with a warm coral-orange 'GREENLAND' watermark-style overprint across the upper centre. At left, a vertical ornamental bar carries a deep red geometric Inuit-inspired pattern. The central vignette presents a detailed engraving of a coastal arctic landscape with towering rock formations and icebergs reflected in calm water, above which a whale's tail fluke breaks the surface in the foreground. At lower left the denomination '5 KRONER' is printed in bold type. To the right, a collector's disclaimer text block appears above a facsimile governor's signature and a grid of six silhouette vignettes representing Greenlandic wildlife species. |
| Reverse lettering | 5 KRONER GREENLAND THIS NOTE IS NOT LEGAL TENDER, BUT A UNIQUE COLLECTOR'S ITEM AND A TRIBUTE TO THE DIVERSE WILDLIFE OF GREENLAND. GOVERNOR |
